Front right/left sway bar link designed for 1998-2002 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. This sway bar end link secures the anti-roll bar to the suspension control arm or strut, helping maintain proper roll stiffness, reduce body lean, and preserve handling stability. Built as a direct-fit replacement to restore original steering response and suspension geometry, it offers durable construction and reliable performance for routine maintenance or full suspension restoration projects.
Features:
  • Fits 1998-2002 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models (front sway bar link, right/left hand).
  • Direct-fit replacement for OE-style sway bar end links to restore original handling.
  • Durable metal stud and corrosion-resistant finish for long service life.
  • Integrated bushings/ball joint design reduces vibration and wear for smoother ride.
  • Easy installation with common hand tools; sold as single side (right or left) for targeted repairs.
  • Ideal for suspension maintenance, restoration projects, or replacing worn/broken links.
Installation / Application:
  • Difficulty: 2/5
  • Estimated time: 30-60 minutes per side
Suggested Tools:
  • Floor jack and jack stands
  • Lug wrench or impact wrench
  • Socket set and ratchet
  • Combination wrenches
  • Torque wrench
  • Penetrating oil (optional)
  • Pry bar or pickle fork (if needed)
  • Safety glasses and gloves
Instructions:
  1. Park on a level surface, engage parking brake, and block rear wheels.
  2. Loosen front wheel lug nuts slightly, then lift vehicle with a jack and support securely on jack stands.
  3. Remove the front wheel to gain access to the sway bar link.
  4. Locate the sway bar end link connecting the stabilizer bar to the control arm or strut assembly.
  5. Apply penetrating oil to fasteners if they are corroded; allow time to soak.
  6. Hold the stud with a wrench and remove the nut(s) securing the link at the sway bar and the control arm/strut.
  7. Remove the old link—use a pry bar or pickle fork if necessary to separate tight joints.
  8. Position the new sway bar link in place, aligning studs with mounting holes.
  9. Install nuts and tighten by hand, then torque to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
  10. Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and torque the lug nuts to spec.
