[QUOTE="Bob Alias, post: 529046, member: 55061"] On a long drive to Yosemite last week, I heard sounds coming from the rear suspension and pulled over to take a look. I discovered the driver-side nut was missing from sway-bar/tie rod link! The sway-bar had disconnected from the tie-rod and was rubbing on the threaded link. 80% of the threads are damaged, preventing me from installing the new nut I bought from Ford (hard to find, too!). Soooo, I'm taking this oppurtunity to replace my stock sway-bar & tie-rods. I'm undecided between the Hellwig and EE sway bars. The Hellwig includes new tie-rods, but is smaller diameter vs. EE. I know metal-type is just as important as bar diameter, but I've seen quite a few positive reviews of the EE sway bar. Cripes... decisions, decisions..... Bob [/QUOTE]
