How do you remove and install a front stabilizer bar assembly on 1998-2011 Ford Ranger?

Position the front wheels straight ahead and securely raise the vehicle on jackstands. Disconnect the Sway Bar Kit from the lower control arms by removing the nuts from the links that attach the bar to the arms, discarding the fasteners on later models as new ones will be used during installation. Detach the Sway Bar Kit from the frame by removing the four bracket bolts, also discarding fasteners on later models for new ones during installation. Remove the Sway Bar Kit assembly and inspect all rubber bushings for any cracks, tears, or damage, replacing any that are worn or deteriorated. Installation follows the reverse order of removal, ensuring that all bolts and nuts are tightened to the specified torque. Note that the sway bar-to-frame bracket bolts are self-tapping; if they cannot be tightened to the correct torque, obtain a kit with special fasteners from the dealer, and on later models, use new Sway Bar Kit link nuts and bracket bolts.

Ford Ranger Sway Bar Kit

The Sway Bar Kit in Ford Ranger plays an efficient turning moment for better stability in handling of the vehicle and reduce body roll while cornering or in uneven terrain. This is an anti-roll bar that links opposite wheels with a torsion spring thus it has the capacity to enhance roll stiffness but not the vertical spring rates. In this way, the Sway Bar Kit prevents torsion, thus making the wheels to achieve similar heights of adjustment, the reduction of lateral tilt and enhancement of traction. Since the Ford Ranger is a vehicle that has been in production for many years, different types of Sway Bar Kit have been used in the car including the adjustable Sway Bar Kit and the active type Sway Bar Kit. These advanced Sway Bar Kits have the potential to allow the stiffness to be variable for the optimal of the car handling features as well as the comfort of riding. Although conventional Sway Bar Kits may allow bumps to communicate from one wheel to another causing the vehicle to waddle on rough roads, more recent designs seek to improve upon stability and comfort hence proving the advancement of Ford Ranger's suspension technology.

We provide a wide range of Ford Ranger Sway Bar Kit at the best prices possible. If you need Ford Ranger 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.
