89-91 sho anti sway bars on 97 gl?

[bawolvesfan]

i was looking at some car communities and ive noticed a couple of gen 3 non sho's with gen 1 sho anti sway bars. does anyone know where i could get these? were they stock equipment or are they aftermarket parts? How hard would they be to install, what would be needed?
thx

They will all interchange with all the years.

Get a set of calipers and measure them.

The front ones are easiest to replace if you lower the subframe a little.

The rear ones are easier.

Front or rear they have endlinks the hold them to the struts. These are basically bolts with bushings where they connect.

They also have two mounts per bar that bolts to the subframe.

As far as which ones to use.

Normal people find the 19 or 21mm front bar in combination with a 24mm rear bar very neutral to drive.

More aggressive people like the 24mm front 26mm Rear.


After the Generation 1 Ford kind of mixed and matched swaybars so there was no set sizes. they even quit putting them on some cars in 99 to present. so you have to changes struts that have the mounting tabs.

You will need to buy either TPR or Poly Eurethane bushings that are the correct size for the bars you end up with.

Some of the sizes are no longer available so you have to buy smaller bushings and drill them out.

That was simple wasn't it?

Go to www.taurusclub.com and do some searching in the suspension handling and brakes section. Read thru and then ask any questions you have. People love to help there but they don't like answering questions that have been posted a million times.
