Rear Sway Bar...
I've been thinking of getting a rear sway bar...
what's a good size for one?
1/2"? 3/4"? 1"? 1 1/2"?
also where can you get them cheap?

You CAN get the ADDCO bar...
But a regular 1" rear PI bar works fine.. Myself and several do that...1983 Grand Marquis 2Dr Sedan "Mercules"

about $140 or so, but you might have to fab up the mounts for the bar as I think they only sell the style for the 92 + panther.Chris - A 20th Century Man \m/ ^.^ \m/Comment

If your looking for cheap yet effective,I would say go with the 1in. PI rear sway bar.I pulled mine off a 89 PI for only $20 at the local yard.The addco's are way overpriced,but are slightly better though due to being a hollow tube sway bar,actually gives it more torsional strength than the solid bars.Next I need the wagon front bar,as allmost all my sway is in the front end now.Last edited by LTDMan83; 06-27-2006, 04:02 PM.Comment

I got a 7/8" rear bar off a cop-owned tow package Grand Marquis, it's not as good as the 1" police bars but it does make a difference.Comment

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but, does anyone know what size bolts hold the sway bar in? I'm guessing around 5/8" or 3/4", but Im not sure.
Also, what length are they?
I cant get the rusty ones off...
if I have it done when I get my turbines swapped for my chrome wheels, I want to have the new bolts ready for installation.sigpic

I belive they are 12mm. You can measure the length if they are still on the car...Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

I know the bolts are 18mm so the threads are probably metric too.1990 Country Squire - under restoration
