Need Exploded suspension diagram 97 explorer

The peice that connects my front sway bar to the lower control has broken. I would like to replace it but I want to look at an exploded diagram first so I know what peices to buy.

If your truck was built before Oct 31, 1996, then Ford safety recall 00S47 applies. This recall was for (surprise) broken stabilizer bar links. In this case, drive the truck to the dealer and they will replace both sides for free. I had mine changed out under the recall on my 1996 Explorer years ago.

If your truck was built after Oct 31, 1996, then it should have come with the beefier links from the factory. You should be able to find a diagram on fordpartscheap.com
Alternatively, the dealerships are used to looking up the numbers as they had to replace a bunch of these under the recall.

Be careful not to overtorque the through bolts.
