Hey there everyone,

I'm currently stuck halfway through the process of installing new swaybars on my '05 V6. I bought the GT front sway bar from Saleen, and the rear bar from Kevin, the Ford Parts guy. I've already installed the front bar, which was very easy since it only required replacing the original piece. However, I've just discovered that my new rear bar did not come with any instructions, and the process isn't at all self-explanatory like the front bar was. Could anybody help me out by giving me some installation instructions, or pointing me in the direction of some that are already available online? I would really appreciate any sort of help... and the sooner the better, since my car's up on the lift as I write this and I'd really like to avoid having to take it down and put it back up later on. Anyways, I hope you guys can help me out Thanks a lot.
-Rob

It's actually pretty easy, I'll try to post or send you the exploded view pdf file of how it goes in. Just make sure you use plenty of silicone grease so it doesn't make a hideous noise every time you go over a speed bump! (experience)

Don't worry about it, I actually ended up looking at a photo of a GT suspension, and figured out where everything was supposed to go. I didn't use any silocone grease though... does it really make a difference? I've driven it for several miles and haven't heard anything strange...

I guess it depends on which bushings you have, but I didn't use it at first and about 2 days later it was driving me insane! Jacked it up and applied the silicone, been lovely ever since. Congrats on your upgrade!
