I had a lot of sway in my Town Sedan, even after installing a Panhard Bar on the rear. I thought it was because of the weight and shape of the car.

But while installing a Mitchell O/D I found a broken shackle that had obviously been in pieces for a while. I could not tell it was broken until I tried to take it off. My sway is now gone after replacing my shackles and bushings, front and rear. You might make a quick check of your shackles.




FYI, don't buy the 'off shore' shackles. Appears this is a 'known' problem? http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/brokenshackles.htm
