DSE Rear Tubular Sway Bar Kit - 3/4 Inch (042223DS) - 1979-1993 Ford Mustang / 1979-1986 Mercury Capri
Put more control into your Fox Body without giving up the versatility that makes these cars so much fun to drive. The Detroit Speed Rear Tubular Sway Bar Kit, part number 042223DS, is a bolt-on handling upgrade for 1979-1993 Ford Mustang and 1979-1986 Mercury Capri applications. Its 3/4 inch tubular rear sway bar helps keep body roll under control while dual-rate adjustment gives you another valuable tuning tool for dialing in the car's handling balance.
Detroit Speed designed 042223DS to work as a standalone rear sway bar upgrade or alongside its Fox Body rear suspension components. The bar mounts to the rear axle using 2-3/4 inch axle clamps, while frame-mounted end-link brackets and adjustable end links complete the connection to the chassis. Polyurethane sway bar bushings provide durable mounting, and split lock collars positively locate the bar. A gloss black powder-coated finish protects the sway bar and gives the installation a clean, finished appearance.
