E99 Front Sway Bar Link Brackets

I am looking for part numbers for the front sway bar link brackets for my E99 (left and right). They are different than the later models.

Thanks,
Mark

Mount to the frame and links bolt to them.

I can't tell you what the part number is but my truck was wondering (2wd) a little when going down the road. Les Schwab replaced them. Although they were worn the truck still wondred and it turned out to be the long side of the tie rod.

Mine aren't worn, I need to replace them to stock while removing a lift kit.

Those are the Ford part numbers if you want to go OEM rubber. You can get a set from Energy Suspension that are polyurethane. Better IMO. And prolly cost less. I just got a set for my truck for $45.00.
The part number for the E99 (before March 99 build date), is 4.5192 .
But before buying, measure the diameter of your sway bar. That part number is for the 32mm (1 1/4 in) sway bar.

I suspect the OP had longer aftermarket links mounted as part of the lift kit he is now removing. So no matter what type of bushing is in the eyelets, he still needs the OEM length links.

Walleye Hunter... check that your cast pillow block endlink mounting points are inside the frame rails, not reverse mounted underneath the frame rails, as is commonly done on lift kit installations.

I believe the links are original links with lowering mounting brackets but I will look under it this weekend and see what I find.

Here are a few pics of the cast pillow block in the original in frame orientation. (No lift)

The text embedded into the photos was written for another thread, and it was easier to link the annotated photos rather than hunt for the originals without the text.







Installation of the passenger side (curb side) Ford stabilizer endllink part number 1C3Z-5K483-BA. Photo illustrates proximity to heat sources and shows adding another protective heat shield to bushings. The starter is in the way of top bolt installation, so frame mounted cast support (pillow) block is removed first, then reattached to frame with endlink pre-assembled to it. IMG 0433

Sources of radiated heat that can accelerate degradation of the rubber membranes that retain the grease in the OEM stabilizer end link eyelet bushings. IMG 0455

Now we're talking. I did find one for the right side on flea bay and that is exactly what it looks like and it is nothing like the ones that are on there now.
