anyone have a pic showing the sway bar on the rear of a 1st gen 7.5 axle? pics of mounting points would be great. thanks.

just remove it... I'm on 31's without any sway bars and it drives fine... and I don't drive it nice...

I can take a pic of where mine used to be. There are still rust rings left, but I say keep it off. More flex!

the guy hauls lots of heavy stuff in his ranger and wants one.

i have one and trying to install it. doesn't seem to want to fit my axle. it's off an 87, mine is an '83. should be the same 7.5 axle, but coming up short on the length of the u-bolts as well as double checking the mounting points for the end links. just want to make sure i'm installing it correctly. btw, i'm hauling an extra 27 gal of gas in the aux tank in the bed and towing a camper. need the sway bar for real!

The stock one is so thin I'd be surprised if it makes any difference. I'll look in the manual and see if there's a picture.

I checked in my factory manual and also the haynes I have and sorry to say no picture.

 

[strvger]

I'll do mine tomorrow and post it up. just remind me.

 

[strvger]

excellent! thanks r1hatman!! it's a working weekend for me, so i'll send a quick reminder before i leave in the morning.

Sent you a pm. I don't have a rear sway bar, just the tire carrier. Sorry.

 

[strvger]

not a problem. anyone else have pics of their rear sway bar on a 1st gen 7.5 ranger?
