DSE Tubular Front Sway Bar Kit (031423DS) - 1979-1993 Ford Mustang / 1979-1986 Mercury Capri
Put more control into your Fox Body with the Detroit Speed Tubular Front Sway Bar Kit, part number 031423DS. Designed for 1979-1993 Ford Mustang and 1979-1986 Mercury Capri applications, this performance front anti-roll bar uses a 1-7/16-inch diameter, 0.188-inch wall tubular design to reduce body roll, improve front-end stability, and deliver sharper, more predictable cornering. A two-position adjustable rate gives you the ability to fine-tune front roll control to better match your suspension setup, driving style, and intended use.
Detroit Speed engineered the 031423DS around the packaging demands of performance Fox Body builds. Its unique sway bar profile and relocation brackets maximize wheel and tire clearance at full steering lock, while the center section provides clearance for Small Block Ford, Mod Motor, and Coyote engine combinations. Lightweight tubular steel construction combines strength with reduced weight, and a gloss black powder-coated finish provides corrosion and wear resistance. Adjustable swivel-ball end links, greaseable polyurethane bushings, mounting brackets, split lock collars, hardware, and grease complete a comprehensive front sway bar package built for serious street, autocross, and track-oriented Fox Body applications.
