Link bolts go up so you don't catch anything on the underside if they are hanging down. When I replaced my sway bar, I used two bungee cords to hold the sway bar up because that 1-1/8' bar is pretty heavy and awkward to hold into place.

Yeah, I've heard the same thing. But I also get a lot of "Pros" commenting on my videos and tell me to do the exact opposite of whatever I do, so it's difficult to tell the correct way sometimes. :)

Hey Andy. Watched your video and happened to take a look at mine…I had an end link that was all rusted and kind of barely hanging on. Replaced it with the 1”, makes a world of difference and glad I looked after another great video from you. Thanks!

Good work so far, however I believe a stiffer bar up front will increase under steer, therefore push more.

A larger front bar does not remove understeer completely, it just moves the point at which the car begins to understeer to higher point relative to speed. Meaning, I can take a given corner at a higher speed before understeer begins to happen. :)

Like the rest of the suspension components, the sway bar hardware needs to be tightened at ride height. I think your explanation of the sway function should have been at the beginning of the video. Keep up the passion.

Thanks! This part compliments the rest of the suspension parts I've upgraded on this car, making this car just a little bit more enjoyable to take out on the twisty roads. The main advantage of this bar is that it moves the understeer moment out to a point where the speed has to be a bit higher than before. :)

Nice upgrade, where did you get your sway bar? Also noticed the old trusty quick jack was not part of the fun 😆

Sway bar from CJ Pony, part number FSB4. While this is the kind of project where the quickjack provides a large amount of undercar clearance, I was simply too lazy to set it up this round. :)

If I want to just change the 2 bushings that are bolted to the frame rails, do I need to take the sway bar completely off? Or can I just pry down on it enough to slip the new bushings on?
@AndyKruseChannel
@AndyKruseChannel 9 ай бұрын
I think you could leave the end links attached to the end of the sway bar and just remove those two mounts (and bushings) you're asking about so you can install new ones, but bolting back up to the frame rail might be tricky. Worst case is you have to unbolt everything and install it all back on the car like you were installing a new bar, so it might be worth a try to see how it goes. :)

@AndyKruseChannel I may as well just do the end links also if I'm going to do it. Heck, at that point, I should just upgrade the entire thing like you did. DARN YOU ANDY!!!! lmbo!! Thanks buddy.

Hey Andy, I’m doing a complete rotisserie restoration. What are some changes/additions that you would recommend that adds real bang for the buck.
@AndyKruseChannel
@AndyKruseChannel 2 жыл бұрын
If you're wondering about suspension/handling bang for the buck, nothing beats a Panhard Bar addition to the rear (or Watts Link if you've got the money for it). Making these cars handle better on the road takes quite a few component upgrades from the stock parts, and they all compliment each other, but the Panhard Bar has been the largest change single noticeable change above anything else. Oh wait, I've said too much. A new wiring harness would ease problems down the road, and usually fixes gremlins we all seem to find over time. A tilt steering column provides some flexibility not originally available in these early Mustangs, and some safety upgrades too. :)

Hey Andy just finished my first drive after putting my new front sway bar in, I'm almost sure it shouldn't be able to affect it, but did your turning radius change at all? Mine feels tighter but I also don't do many u turns..
@AndyKruseChannel
@AndyKruseChannel Жыл бұрын
I never paid attention to my turning radius, pre or post the sway bar swap. I’m trying to think it through and I can’t see how a larger bar would affect the radius at slow speeds (like u-turns). However, higher speed turn should be slightly tighter.
