I have a few questions before I install my take-off GT sway bar on my V6 this weekend. I searched the forums and got some information, but also found alot of contradictions...so I just wanted to make sure before I start.

First of all do I have all the parts? I have the sway bar, mounts, 4 bolts that are clip-like (and nuts), and 2 larger bolts for the top bushings (and nuts). Is this all I will need for the installation?

Secondly, Will I be able to do this without a lift? I am not worried about taking the wheels off as I will be installing rotors this weekend too. Just wanted to make sure I can do this without a lift, and where is the best placement for the jack stands for those that have done this install?

Lastly, any tips? It doesn't look too hard, but that happens alot with these things...

Thanks for any help.

 

Sounds like you got everything. On a rack we installed one on a guys 05 v6 in just a couple of minutes. Took longer to figure out how the **** this sat in there, than to mount it in.

 

Yup... and an awesome job you did!

 

I completed my install a few weeks ago. If by mounts you mean brackets then yes, you have all that's needed. Just make sure the parts you have are genuine Ford (sounds like they are - since Ford makes those weird looking bolts). I didn't use a lift or take any wheels off - I used good old ramps and there was enough space under there. One trick I picked up on this board for installing the rear bar is to slide one end of the bar inside of one of the wheels. This will allow you to slide the other end in position easily.

 

Good info guy's.....I'm about to do the same install soon!

 

Let us know how it went and get some pics, that my next mod and gathering info as well !!!

 

Popular Mod I guess for us V6 guy's!!

 

For good reason. It's not too expensive, and makes a large improvement in the way the car handles

 

Amen to that! Mine rides soooo much better after upgrading both the front and rear sway bars!

 

For future V6ers just get the pony pkg, its already there.

 

Same size as the GT?

 

Yes ! !

 

Okay.....great!

 

Does anyone have a list of the part numbers you need to order from Ford to install the GT sway bar? I have an 05 with a new sway bar on the way. Help!
