rear sway bar installation

I have the one from mustang plus too, same deal. I dont have pics readily available so I will try to explain.

sway end links face the rear of the car with the hump over the pumpkin, there are U bolts that go around the axle shafts and those go around a thick C channel piece (on either side of pumpkin as close to the say bar courners as possible and then a flat plate goes over the U bolts and then the nuts on the threads. this should bolt the sway to the axle (dont tighten yet, just make it snug.

measure where the support ends fit and make a mark on the frame

there are 2 ] looking brackets with threads on either side, these will go into the frame rail, you need to drill 2 holes on either side equal distance from the mark made above. they will need to be slightly larger than the ] bracket.

I drilled and put a bolt on one side, fanagled it in and out the other hole, placed the flat brace and the kick down bracket on and started the nut, then removed the nut on the other side and installed through flat bracket and kickdown. remember to install the threaded link (with the bushings - the real names are escaping me memory at the moment) into the kickdown before fully installing.

the rest should be pretty much appearent. the fun part is drilling into the frame with 2.5" dual exhaust in place, home depot has a really long drill bit that will help you unless you dont have the exhaust issue.

the ] threaded piece fits inside the frame rail. so when you determine where your center against the frame rail for the connection rod (the threaded piece with the bushings that connect between the sway and the frame) you basically take the ] and center it to the mark you made, mark on the frame rail where the threads of the ] hit and that is where you drill. you drill slightly bigger hole than the threaded end because you will need to feed the ] into the frame rail (it will look like two threaded bolts sticking out of frame rail when done). as I said before you put a nut on one end before you thread into the frame rail so you dont accidentally loose the ] inside the frame rail. move the ] around until you get the threaded end you put into the drilled hole to come out the opposite drilled hole. should look like two threaded bolts sticking out of the frame rail. so to note the ] will be inside the frame rail. I will try to get pics posted today.

This is how I mounted mine.
The bracket inside the frame rail is a tricky thing
to get in place but it will go.

PB

when you put the bracket bolt into the frame rail, thread a nut onto one end so that you don't lose the bolt up inside the frame.

and when you position the sway bar up against the frame rails to mark where the bracket holes are going to be drilled, do it with the car's weight on the axle.

just support the axle on jackstands and not the frame rail, and it should be fine.
