Default sway bar on 2004 v6

I saw this on the tech articles, https://mustangforums.com/forum/v6-1...r-install.html

So all mustangs made after 97 (?) got no rear sway bars? I'm not sure if mine has one last time I looked at the rear differential.

It depends on the options the car came with. All GT and cobra cars have rear sway bars and some of the v6 cars came with them.

None of the 99-04 V6 came with one, you can run any rear sway off a fox, SN95, new edge GT, etc. They were different diameters depending on the year and trim. You just need to also get the installation hardware off said vehicles to swap into your '04...assuming that's what you have. There are 4 bolts and 4 special threaded clips which are affixed to the sway bar where the bolts run through. In case you go shopping for used sway bars.

really odd since I don't have one on my '04! what's the reasoning behind that? keep cost down or as if the v6 doesn't need rear sway bars at all?
just one of the reasons why even with the new tires up front I felt that the steering on the mustang is weird compared to my other cars (this is my first mustang)
is this the understeer they're talking about?
