I just got an F350 sway bar but it didn;t come with end links. Can someone measure theirs so that I make sure I order the correct length?

Or if you already have the part number for OEM links that work...well then...that would be fantastic!

If you're fabricating your own end-links, all you have to do is ensure the longitudinal end-arms of the anti-swaybar are parallel (or almost parallel) to the ground.

FabRiCAtINg My OWN!?!?!?! Are you crazy!! I can barely make Macaroni and Cheese!!

I cannot fabricate my own. I have to be like the rest of the mere mortals here and buy something someone else has already made.

I went to a Ford dealer today to talk to the parts dork...he wanted $213 for links and bushing brackets.

Hmmm ... A Hellwig anti-swaybar would be much less expensive. And I hear they come with the drop-links as part of the kit, too. (hee-hee)

Yeah, I know. I put one on my other Excursion for $134.00. I got this bar for $25, thought I might save a buck or two. Plus, I wanted to try and stay OEM so as not to piss off my service advisor.

monsta, you are in luck! Macaroni and Cheese is my specialty. Bring 6 cups of water to a boil, dump the noodles in and run on medium heat for 10 minutes, drain, add cheese, 1/2 stick butter, and 1/4 cup milk back into pan, stir, and serve!

As for the end links, can't help ya there.
