Broke my rear swaybar

cad614 · 08-25-2002, 02:37 PM

Snapped right behind the bolts on the passanger's side. Evidently this is common on the 94-95 stangs.

Time to replace it, any suggestions?

Full Griggs suspension!

How in the world did you do that?

I've never heard of that happening, but it's possiable.

It is actually a fairly common problem due to the stress concentration around the bolt holes with the stock design - I've seen it happen on 2 of my friends' stangs. If you just want to go with a stock style replacement, I would recommend this one from MM:

It happens all the time at the dealership i work at. Someone replaced one 2 days ago that broke exactly where yours did.
I forget what company sells it (maybe maximum motorsports?) but there is a replacement rear bar out there that doesn't break.
