The fine print on that about end links:
Swaybar does not include new endlinks. Factory Ford endlinks are available in the drop down menu above if your originals are worn! We do not suggest anything but original as aftermarket endlink bodies may be too large and rub the spindle.

You can also take a look at Addco Sway Bars. Many members have installed them with great results.

So is the ADTR sway bar bigger?

The Addco also reduces body roll and significantly tightens handling.

My car had addco sway bars and handles great

This is true... Funny thing is my 03 has Moog and they never showed signs of rub, I did the exact same setup on an 04 and the Moogs rubbed so we went with OEM and the issue was solved. My 03 didnt have lock collars installed the 04 has them. Never figured out why the 04 with collars and Moogs rubbed :confused:

yes it is a larger sway bar, ask if it has collar locks so it stops the sway bar from sliding left and right. I bought my locks at grainger and another set off ebay.

Recommend the Addco solid bars for the front and rear.

Sway Bars – Addco
Front – 2196 (1.25” diameter) - Solid
Rear – 650 (1” diameter) – Solid

Greaseable Sway Bar Bushings - Energy Suspensions
Front – 9.5165 or 9.5172
Rear – 9.5161

I believe the Addco bars come with the collars.

NOTE: you will need some modifications to make the rear greaseable bushings to work. Here is a link I posted on the modification.

If you already haven't, upgrade the upper & lower rear control arms and Watts link (I used Metco parts). Once done you'll have a Marauder slot car.

So the Addco's rears don't come with greasable bushings?

[RubberCtyRauder]

Addco bars can be hard to get. They don't run them regularly, some sites like summit, jegs may have, but often drop ship directly and you keep getting delivery dates pushed back. Addco had an issue when they moved to FL a couple years ago.

When I got mine - picked up from their facility in N.C. - they had poly bushings but not greaseable.

last i checked, you buy addco and you will get the bar. No mounting hardware and no pads. No collars, no end links.

I am sure there are many threads, this is why ADTR made their own because of complete lack of support from addco.

[fastblackmerc]

According to Addco's website the bars come with bushings and brackets.

what about this kit?

That Addco P/N 650 will work for the rear.

This one for the front:

[IndyMerc]

these things are thick, I mean you could not possible go any thicker and get a different result?

I am not an expert on the design but I always found the end link design peculiar.

I ordered a rear on 2/10 :

Part Number: 650

Unfortunately the item(s) you ordered are on a manufacturer's national back order. The product(s) are scheduled to arrive to the manufacturer on 02/28 and will ship to you directly from their facility immediately after arrival.

I waited almost 2 months last time I need a front Addco bar.

Unfortunately the item(s) you ordered are on a manufacturer's national back order. Addco should just put this on their home page.
