Default Rear sway bars? What year foxbodies and models came with them?

I'm a bit confused and can't find a solid answer to this.

What year foxbodies and models came with the rear sway bar?

Is this not a valid question? I know besides myself, two other buddies with Lx's don't have rear sway bars.

My 90 LX V8 has a rear sway bar, it didn't have one when I first got it cause the PO still had it. I picked one up from the Pick and Pull for $15 and it's a big change from not having one. Not sure on all the years had them though. If you don't have one see if your car has the mounts for it. I got mine off of a GT and it mounted right up. Although I do have BBK LCA's.

Replacements and Upgrades
Because the 1979-81 stabilizer rear bar was redesigned for 1982, fitting a 1982-and-later rear bar to a 1979-81 Fox car requires redrilling the mounting holes in the lower control arms. The 1994-and-later Fox-4 Mustangs are fitted with slightly lighter tubular steel stabilizer bars that will not interchange directly with earlier, Fox-body models. Larger (.9375-inch and 1.00-inch-diameter) rear stabilizer bars are available from the aftermarket.
