Rear sway bar bolts needed?
What hardware do you need to install a gt rear sway bar? If I didnt want to order the parts from ford (part numbers needed?), what dimensions are the bolts that I would need to install it.

RE: Rear sway bar bolts needed?
Just went thru the same issues with finding parts.
For the rear:
Part #W711029-S900 Clip Nut is now listed at Ford as #W520214-S440 it is $1.95 ea. You only need 2 but you have to buy 4 in the package.
#W707007-S439 is listed as #W711368-S439 also (Clip Stud, 4 required)
The other parts are all valid numbers. When I ordered all the bolts it came to $24
I was advised NOT to use Home Depot bolts and such becasue they are not strength worthy for suspension.

RE: Rear sway bar bolts needed?
Yea, I went the dealer route so it would look OEM
to just about any ford tech and boy am I glad I did.
Its about $40 for the 4 bolts and 4 nuts but they are
of a special kind that the nuts are captive and boy
does that make putting the sway bar on really easy.
Not much room between the nut and the lower
shock mount. The part #s are in the workshop manual
if you need them but they should be able to look up
the numbers at the stealership.

fordparts.com is where I ordered all my nuts & bolts from.
When you first open their main page, go across the top tabs and click on OEM Parts Catalog, on that next page go to section 2 and type in the part number and then pick Fordin the drop down, the part numbers come up on the next page. I just checked and they have all the parts listed. Just remember you have to buy 4 of everything (that's the only way they come in a bag) except for the last nut comes in a bag of 2
This is from my invoice for the rear sway from fordparts.com:
w708737-s439 bolt quantity 4
w520213-s440 nut quantity 4
w711368-s439 boltquantity 4
w520214-s440 nut quantity 2
All of these are accurate part numbers and in stock. Total invoice, including shipping was $34.25 and it arrived within 2 days.

RE: Rear sway bar bolts needed?
I went the Ace Hardware Route ... not having the captive nuts really makes it a bear to install ... but I have had the bar on for about 9 months now with no issues ...
