GT Swaybars Installed - Pics

LX200 · 10-14-2006, 09:11 PM

Well, finally got all the parts and bolts (I actually sprung for the Ford bolts), and got the Mustang up on a lift. Front and rear sway installed. Here are some pictures of the rear swaybar after installation.

Very nice difference in performance. I have that GoKart feel now. Next mod.... XCharger HiPo kit.....

Can you describe in more detail what this mod does? I definitely do not want any harsher of a ride for my V6 and I'm curious what this mod does for you?

It basically helps stiffen the suspension, makes the car turn tighter i believe.

Basically, it eliminates body roll when cornering... makes you more like a Go-Kart. Makes a REAL noticable difference.

Those who drag race have also said it helps control squat when you lay down the power, and therefore leads to better track times. I don't know this from personal experience.

Where did you get these from, if you don't mind me asking? I saw some on diversified marketings website that looked reasonable.

Thanks

I got them from Diversified, won an auction and got them for $89 plus shipping. I then got the correct bolts and nuts from Ford for $50 more. Most people just bought the nuts and bolts from Home Depot, but I am anal, and if I can get factory for $50 more, I'll do it.

hey, what are those white linkages going up on either side of the bar?

LX200 · 10-27-2006, 02:10 AM

Stickman.... don't know what to say.... all rear sways have those links. On the vert bars, the links are white (so I am told). On the coupe, they are black.

LX200, I think that was a good guess. As far as I can tell they are called stabilizer Links. I tried to look them up in a Ford parts online web site. The drawing they have is a bit different, but the vertical links are called exactly that. BTW, Ford doesn't call them sway bars, they call them stabilizer bars.
