All, just cross-posting from the other forum that apparently Ford has discontinued the largest-diameter 21mm stock swaybar. These bars are also sought after by Grand Marquis and Crown Vic enthusiasts so no doubt word will be getting out shortly on their forums if it hasn't already.

Now is the time to buy if you want one. Part number: YW7Z-5A772-CA

ordered ome from http://fordpartsdiscountoutlet.com/ford/crown-victoria-parts/
$60.xx out the door with shipping.

also guy on EBay has about 6 or 7 and they are about 65 shipped.
local dealer said he could order one and it was 63 (list price) plus sales tax, so I saved only a couple of bucks but don't have to drive to the dealer twice.

Been meaning to buy one for some time, figure now is the time.

They are not easy to find. I got really lucky finding one as quickly as I did. I have continues to look for Mtrhead and 200OZ and had little luck finding any more, but if you can find it in a yard. You will save $$$. I bought a set of HD bushings for $10 from summit.

Do all P71's have these? There is always about 5-6 of them at the JY since they have a scrapping contract for two police departments...

Actually I think the P71s DIDN'T get these. The more spring rate you have, the less antiroll bar you need, and vice versa. If you have stock roadmaster or caprice springs, you can run a lot more swaybar than if you have stiffer springs.

Thanks

I finally got it installed and am loving it! I still have to make some adjustments, something is banging over large bumps. Aside from that it's amazing how much better this yacht handles around turns.

I need to install mine too. It came and I threw it in the garage with the rest of Jade's parts. Maybe should put it on the ole' L03 I'm driving all the time.

Just got mine installed tonight. The car feels more confident but definitely gained more from replacing the front end links IMHO.

It's a compromise fit using the parts suggested. The sway bar end geometry has the bushings deformed at all times, and it's a byproduct of the bar not being intended for this car. The Energy Suspension end links deformed enough to handle it, but the geometry is definitely non-optimal. I tried a bunch of methods to make the geometry better, such as flipping the bar over and drastically shortening the links, but that puts the holes in an unusable spot on the cross brace. I ended up using the existing holes and just opening them out to 25/64" which seemed to work fine.

To that end, I may look for a different vehicle sway bar in my non-existent free time and use links that look more like this:

I would still recommend this mod, just know that the perfectionist in you will hate the way the end links will look.

Anyone have a pic of how the swaybar looks on the car and how the endlinks look? I'm just getting started with mods and am trying to figure out which way to go. I just checked the Ford site linked above and it's now $130 for one of these.

Look here on the ISSF. That picture makes the endlink mismatch look better than it is. If your car is lower than stock in the rear, the mismatch is minimized at ride height. It gets pretty distorted when the rear axle drops down all the way.

Okay, now this is odd. I looked at the same part number in lower case with no hyphens and it shows as a different part and price! It comes up as $42.62!

I searched online and found a website via crownvic.net which is tascaparts.com and their price is $41.13 and shipping is only $10 for up to 2 bars and goes up only slightly from there. I will order mine today probably. If anyone else in Florida is interested in one let me know and we can split shipping. I'm in Polk County and Jacksonville about once a month and Tampa every 2-3 months so we could arrange something if you're not in South Florida near Hollywood/Miami.

Tasca Ford is who my swaybar came from, and it was $65 shipped. You are getting a better deal through your site!

Does anyone have the part numbers for the Energy suspension swaybar mounts an end links that are recommended for this install? My bar arrives tomorrow and I'd like to put it on asap. I got Spring springs and lowering shocks today so those will likely go on by tomorrow too, depending on how low the rear end gets the stock springs may go back on.

Went to WF and back with the bar and love it!
