Rear Sway Bar
My 1998 GT did not come with a rear sway bar, I believe that the cobras had larger diameter rear sway bars.
Does anyone know where I could get a stock rear cobra sway bar? http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...0%201&comp=LRS I saw this, but i thought the cobra had a larger diameter than 25mm |
Your car should have a rear sway bar. All GT's come with them from what 79+ on? Regardless if your missing it I would just invest in a better larger one from any one of the aftermarket suspension companies.

I have maximum motorsports lower control arms, can you recommend an aftermarket rear sway bar? |
Did you install the control arms? Because if you bought the car second hand and the LCAs were already installed I can completely see the previous owner removing the sway bar for some reason, possibly for suspension tuning, or it broke. A rear sway bar will help eliminate some understeer, which is what most Mustangs need badly. I would look for a cobra sway bar aswell.

Steeda: http://www.steeda.com/products/hd_rear_sway_bar.php
Hotchkis (they only sell front and rear together) :http://www.jegs.com/p/Hotchkis/Hotch...94133/10002/-1 Eibach: http://www.maximummotorsports.com/in...n_page=install MM: http://www.maximummotorsports.com/in...n_page=install I think the Steeda one is a good compromise between price and better then stock performance. Unless you can find a cobra in a junkyard and grab one off that. |
I was looking at this guy right here
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...0%201&comp=LRS figured cobra rear sway bar was larger than 25mm. Since my car did not have one, i figure this is better than nothing, and its OE - replacement |
The Steeda one is almost the same price and is gonna be better then an OEM piece for sure.
|
I was stashing away my old one in case I need it in the future but it seems that a stiffer one would be more in tune to what I need later on. Let me know if you're interested.
|
That's the way to go if you don't care about getting one that is stiffer then stock. Stock ones are pretty good for most people anyhow.
|
I picked one up from the junkyard for my 94 GT for 20 bucks. The replacement came from a wrecked 94 GT and measured 24mm. The one on my 96 GT measures 25mm and the one on my 95 V6 measures 21mm, just for reference. I have seen stock replacement Cobra sway bars listed as 25mm so it would seem that is the largest stock sway bar available for these SN-95s.
