How to remove and install the front stabilizer bar on Ford Explorer?

To remove the Sway Bar Kit, position the front wheels straight ahead, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. If the vehicle has Automatic Ride Control (ARC), ensure the air suspension switch is turned off before raising the vehicle to avoid damaging the system components. Detach the Sway Bar Kit from the axle arms for 1994 and earlier models or from the link attached to the lower control arm for 1995 and later models, then remove it from the frame. For installation, follow the reverse of the removal process and tighten the bolts and nuts to the specified torque. For models from 1997 to 2001, if the Sway Bar Kit-to-frame bracket bolts are self-tapping and no longer hold, consult a dealer for a kit with special fasteners to repair the stripped holes.

Ford Explorer Sway Bar Kit

The Sway Bar Kit in Ford Explorer vehicles is particularly important in improving on the stability and handling thereof through reducing body roll motions in the car during cornering as well as over irregular terrains. This anti roll bar links opposite the wheels through a torsion spring thus increasing the roll stiffness without having an impact on the vertical spring rate. This makes it easier for the wheels to be back to similar heights by countering the force known as torsion and thereby decreases lateral tilt thus increasing the grip on the road. Several models of the Sway Bar Kit have been used in the Ford Explorer automobiles in the past, some of which are adjustable and active Sway Bar Kits for varying stiffness by enhancing the automobile's handling style. Since Sway Bar Kits of some older cars can transfer oscillations between wheels which results in difficulty in negotiating over rough surfaces by creating a perception of waddling, contemporary installations may include features to make real-time adjustments, thus improving both, stability and comfort of the Ford Explorer.

We provide a wide range of Ford Explorer Sway Bar Kit at the best prices possible. If you need Ford Explorer Sway Bar Kit, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.

Q: How to remove and install the front stabilizer bar on Ford Explorer?
A: To remove the Sway Bar Kit, position the front wheels straight ahead, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. If the vehicle has Automatic Ride Control (ARC), ensure the air suspension switch is turned off before raising the vehicle to avoid damaging the system components. Detach the Sway Bar Kit from the axle arms for 1994 and earlier models or from the link attached to the lower control arm for 1995 and later models, then remove it from the frame. For installation, follow the reverse of the removal process and tighten the bolts and nuts to the specified torque. For models from 1997 to 2001, if the Sway Bar Kit-to-frame bracket bolts are self-tapping and no longer hold, consult a dealer for a kit with special fasteners to repair the stripped holes.
