You should have a front one no matter what model V6 you have. You can see it if you pop the hood and look down in the space where you can see the ground. Its the round, black bar that goes across. In the back you need to look under the car. You may not have one there (i dont yet). It has two arms that bolts to the sway bar and to part of the suspention. It looks like a round bar with a bunch of bends in it....

SDSguy, you really need to replace the 31.5mmV6 front sway bar
with the bigger 34mm GT sway bar. Also the rear does not have one
unless it is a PonyPackage. The ponys come with an 18mm and the
GTs have a 20mm. Get on ebay and find a rear GT takeoff. I boght
my front GT sway for under $30 and then found a set of front and
rear GT sways for $50 and got them also. I have an extra 34mm front
GT sway with the bushings and brackets if you are interested. I would
let you havethem for S/H only. They are only taling up space in the
garage. Also there is a missing A-arm brace that the factory left off that
needs to be there also. Its available for $280 from the dealer plus you
need to buy the hardware. There are many better and cheaper aftermarket
K- member braces like theCHE brand. $89 - $105
