Forum Discussion
Since we are talking about the F-53 chassis, on another forum there are many, many reports of the bolts that hold the sway bar brackets in place, two on each bracket, are not correctly tightened. It seems to affect nearly all years of the F-53
I checked our 2014 with 9000 miles and of the 8 total bolts, 6 were not tight. One was finger loose. Now all eight are properly torqued and sealed with blue locktite. This is easy to check and if you cannot do it I suggest you pay any mechanic for probably 15 minutes of labor to fix.
Losing a sway bar bracket will not likely cause a crash, but it will cause a white knuckle moment of driving. There are many pics on the net showing broken brackets. This again will cost little or nothing but may save you some grief later. I strongly suggest everyone driving a Ford F-53 chassis to check the sway bar bolts.
Do the CHF it is easy, helps a bunch and YouTube videos and much other info are on the net.
