    needed. Removed my assembly yesterday...one neatly twisted right off the top with little effort. Hoping someone has a spare. Will buy 2 if necessary.

    76 model, so 72-79 chero, torino and many other cross platforms would work. Just pm me with price etc. thanx.

    If you need the end links with the poly bushings ,they are available from ADDCO Or Energy Suspension ,, Just measure yours and order the ones you want/need Caveat,, Energy measures the sleeve in the middle and ADDCO measures the link center to center,, Places like Summitt,Jegs and even Advance Auto carry them,

    they look like this...the ultimate in different than everybody elses stuff...have been unable to see something cross/usable...unless I just go with a thicker after market bar.

    I'M sorry about that HR I realized my mistake later on that evening.. If I do find any I will grab one or both for ya... That sway bar pretty much limits you to the Stock Ford ones, I have an aftermarket rear bar on my 78 because I felt the stocker was to small.

    no sweat dude, I figured you were thinking aftermarket...and if all else fails I may go that route. I think its what? a 1/2 inch? So I deliberated on just scrapping and going 7/8ths... however I will say this....driving the car after removal the "looseness" of the rear end was obvious so Im here to say it DOES work....I appreciate any help y'all can give me...(gotta budget ya know... ):p

    The rear bar does do its job for sure. I have the 7/8 rear and the 1 1/8 up front and even with the 460 in front it handles curves very well./// Will keep an eye out at the P&P

    thanx guyz. I have time since there is quite a bit of cleanup/paintwork to do in the area before reassembly. Note..it wasnt rusty, and I didnt muscle it off. One hand with a box wrench, snapped right in half. Hence Im leary about repairing the broken one due to some weakness. Might explore drilling out the post with the threads and having a bolt welded in its place.

    I'm in the same situation as this. My sway bar end link snapped. It's the same style as this. Has anyone found a replacement part for this yet?

    That's great! If you had two of them I would gladly purchase both. What's the best way to contact you and give you my shipping address? How do you prefer payment?
