I have a 2002 Excursion 4x4.

Bought F350 30mm rear sway bar/ brackets to install from pick n pull.
(Excursion didn't have factory rear sway bar)

Rear swaybar links discontinued.
3C7Z5K484EA

Looking for something close to the 9.25" eye to eye link but no luck.

Found moog k80268 links but are 8" eye to eye. ( listed for the Excursion on ebay, not sure if would work)

Any suggestions of aftermarket links (part number) that would work, would be appreciated.
Thanks.

 

You might check with Hellwig. The end links on their rear sway bar are adjustable and might work with the factory bar.

 

Thx for the reply

Looked at those $150+ unfortunately.

Looking for cost effective link that would work.

 

4 heim joints, 8 washers, 4 bolts, 4 nuts, 2 lengths of threaded rod cut to fit, spraypaint for corrosion resistance if you like.

 

Thanks

Trying to see if someone has come up with a common end link replacement size/brand for the links that are no longer available.

 

BILL COLLINS FORD in Louisville KY has 1 = 502-459-9550.

No one else has any.

 

They want $150 just for the end links? That's not much less than the whole bar would cost. What a rip-off. I was thinking maybe 25-50 bucks. Someone has this listed on Ebay as an Excursion rear end link: Ford Rear Sway Stablizer Bar Link YC3Z5K484AA for 2000 2004 Excursion | eBay
It's a different part number than you listed, though. Also this one: Ford 00 03 Excursion Stabilizer Sway Bar Rear Link YC3Z5K484AA | eBay

 

Where did the OP get the 3C7Z-5K484-EA part number?

My Ford truck parts catalog goes thru 2001, lists for Excursion:

YC3Z-5K484-AA for 2WD - Obsolete ~ 52 available NOS

YC3Z-5K484-BA for 4WD - Obsolete ~ 0 available NOS

 

I got the part numbers from thread ( 2014) on this forum from member
Tommyquest

F81Z5A772AA 30mm Rear Stabilizer Bar $99.21
E5TZ5486B Stabilizer Bar Bracket (2) $21.76 for 2
1C3Z5705AA U-bolt (2) $33.82 for 2
3C7Z5K484EA Endlink (2) $55.88 for 2
E5TZ5B498AA Stabilizer Bar Mount Bracket (2) $12.56 for 2

 

I just used the moog links not perfect but seems to fine.

 

Not sure how the OEM bar attaches but I've use B7 all thread and rubber bushings for similar applications.

 

When I put my 30mm in two weeks ago I got my excursion links from NAPA. $75 for the pair

 

I just recently ordered the Moog ones for a Project truck I'm working on, $42 K80268.

They fit perfectly too!

 

Reviving an old thread, however I finally scored a 30mm sway bar and all the parts from a local yard.. $50 for everything. Our Excursion didn’t have one, so I’m looking forward to finally installing it. The below info my help anyone looking to add an OEM sway bar vs the hellwig. This cost me $96 for everything, so it’s a good savings if you can find one from a ‘99-07 F250/ F350.

Finding the correct rear sway bar links is a real pain in the neck, F250/350 links are too long as others have stated. I wanted to share the info I’ve found for the correct ones. The quick answer is Dorman 533-002.

I just ordered from Home Depot of all places. They had the best price due to free shipping. I’ll update when I get them next week.


Now the long story for those interested... (had too much time on my hands today):

1. From researching old posts, the best reference is from Tommyquest, with part number 3C7Z5K484EA. Superseded by 3C7Z5K484EB. Neither available anymore. This shows the “curved” links with bolts facing the opposite direction, and most reference 9.5” center bolt to center bolt. And the sway bar aligned nicely, parallel to the ground.

2. Ford Parts- YC3Z-5K484-AA (some reference this is for 2000-2003 Excursions)
- Discontinued, but also cross references a lot of aftermarket parts. (Occasionally you can find this On ebay, but some are straight with the bolts both pointing the same direction, and some are bent with the bolts facing the opposite direction.)

3. Motorcraft- MEF56
- May be the correct part but I can’t find pictures.

4. Ford YC3Z5K483AA (2000-2005 Excursion)
- Searching Rock Auto, Just about all of the aftermarket parts pull up a straight end link, both bolts facing the same direction, and about 6.5” center to center. Rock Auto and Amazon both have many. Ebay also has them under the above part number in #2 above, but they are the straight ones, and short. Maybe the parts were superseded at some point for the Ex?

5. Moog k-80161, which is also shorter than original, and the “straight” design.

6. Moog K80268, referenced in the above post
- the correct “curved” design, however per amazon reviews it’s shorter than original... but still can work.


7. Dorman 533-022 — (Appears to be the curved design, to be updated with the length)
- After a TON of digging, I found the Dorman part, which is for the Excursion, has the “bent” design with bolts facing opposite directions, and appears to the the correct length.



Again, this is all for anyone still trying to do the OEM rear sway bar from a 99-07 F250/350. You will need the correct rear sway bar links because the F250/350 links are about 14” and are too long.
