Hi all, I've made a trip to the junkyard today and bought some sway bars for my 1995 F150. The metal plate that the front sway bar mounts to is all bent, does anyone have one they would sell?


And for the rear sway bar, how do the end links attach to the frame? On the truck I removed the bars from, it had some brackets riveted to the frame for them at the red circle, but my truck doesn't have those. How should I deal with this?



Here is everything I purchased-

That's for an aftermarket Hellwig bar, it doesn't have much in common with the factory sway bar.

 

I was always under the impression, the plate was on 2wd, also, you thought about heat and whooping it? The rear end links, attach like bottom of shock, wonder if you just make one, out of C-channel

 

I might try to straighten that plate out but it may be easier just to replace.

Do you have any other pictures of the rear sway bar end link brackets? A piece of c-channel might be the best way to go.

 

with lengths, need more? let me know

 

You rock man! Thanks! I'll let you know if I need any more!

 

I wonder how close the dimensions on these would be?

 

Also found this-

Sway Bar - Gary's Garagemahal (the Bullnose bible)


5L499, does that part number still exist?

 

Also this. Broncos and 2WDs bolted straight to the frame, but 4WDs had those brackets.

 

thats like your plate, 5C128 is its #

 

I wonder if I should just mount it up like the broncos and 2wds did and just skip the brackets?

 

I think they did bracket for reinforcement on 4wd, and end link supported with through bolt, instead of the bolt getting all the jolting, when 4 wheeling
