This is REALLY gonna **** me off...I went to freakin Walgreens and got this pic CD made, and then screwed up on my login onto Photobucket, so it's telling me 'Try again later, too many failed login attempts'. BS, Photobucket must be screwed up. I'll post em asaf'np (tonight)

I dunno... I seriously doubt it's a hack job though, because it all bolts up where it looks like something should bolt up. Whoever owned this before me did alot of suspension stuf ie: Caster Camber plates, Strut Tower brace, Adjustable Shocks, Lowering Springs, bigger front calipers and cross drilled rotors, Subframe Connectors etc, so they did it 'right' from what I can tell...? Who knows LOL!?

Well its a type of anti roll bar. Can you see any brand name on any of the pieces?

They look like traction bars to me. From what I can see, the bars connect to the axle with U bolts and when the axle tries to rotate, they move up and contact the frame where the rubber snubbers are and limit axle rotation and help plant the rear.

I've never seen parts like the ones in the pics before, but it looks like they probably work pretty well.

Haha I wish I knew. Next time I jack the car up in the back, I'll look for brand names. My father and I are gettin ready to fix the dent over the rear drivers side wheel, so I'll look then. Weird...

looks like an eibach kit for a 2005+ mustang or actually looks like anti roll bar off a truck setup.
