Default RE: rear sway bar

I have heard the exact opposite. Now I am confused
Ive always been under the impression that the front sway bar has more of a effect on stabalizing the car as the rear. And I would figure that if this wasnt the truth that the front wouldnt be larger than the rear. Someone made the comment that the spinning wheels in back is where the sway is most important. Well, those wheels are moving front to back, sway bars stabalize the car left to right not front to back. Your front wheels are the ones turning and the front of the car is what is so bad to twist, therefore you want the best quality bar in front. So if I am wrong here let me know but I dont think that I am.

even so, you need a rear sway bar....adding arear and leaving the front will make a bunch of difference because you dont have one right now....once your past having both of them, thats another argument.

not too much of a deal since the shipping is $50...lol

I mean its a good buy if that bid doesnt go up too much, im sure though if you had someone that could order Ford parts wholesale you could get both bars pretty cheap.

I see the bushings, I dont see the brackets.[:@]
Not a deal without the brackets.
And the seller has zero feedback.
Seems like he has a lot of 05mustang take-off parts.
Some with FREE shipping.
Eibach shocks $150 fee S/H.
Hmmmmmm.

But these are probably complete and warrant the higher price.
eBay is eBay and you get what you see. I just dont see all that
you need for a proper installation. The rear sway brackets are
not there in the pic.[:@]
These would run you a pretty penny from Ford if the $45 for
just the 6 bolts and nuts needed for the rear sway bar install is
any kind of an indicator.
