I was gifted a set of Ford Racing sway bars for my '17 GT premium (non-PP car). I am thinking about installing them this weekend, but was wondering if I needed to have endlinks as well when installing the sway bars?

The Ford Racing part # is M-5490-E Sway Bar Kit if this helps.

Hoping to install them at the same time I complete the MGW shifter, Roush mufflers and Boomba Trans mount.

Thanks,

John

Highly recommended with aftermarket bars.

Yes. I've seen way too many stock end links fail with larger rate bars.

Not only that, but you cannot set proper preload with the stock links.

The code may still work....if you're lucky. Check out our ELK012 end link kit and use the code CS2016 to get 15% off and Free Shipping. I have a feeling it may still work for the next 25 minutes or so. ;)

In that they are adjustable, sure. Not the exact same, though.

I have Steeda's. Highly recommended. No noise.

That said,, I have road coursed my car and have never bent or bothered the stock end links. I got adjustable end links to fool around with some balancing with me in the car.

I bent both of my fronts end links with Steeda adjustable bars. Just buy adjustables....you'll do it eventually.
