Sway master bracket failure.

My bracket broke and jammed my steering when the sway bar dropped. The control arm on the sway bar also broke . Luckily I was in reverse backing onto a small road near my fishing destination. Had to drive back to town, 40 miles, and purchase a socket. I strapped up the sway bar to make the journey. After tons of research and failing to fabricate my own, I found they used the original Ford bracket . Well, that rattle I could not find for the last year, that was it.

My usual creeper and flashlight inspection didn't show it. I will be taking a closer look for sure.
  • Oh I thought it was an ongoing problem.....you know how many problems those Fords have with their front suspension.

    We that have Chevy Based RVs don't seem to have any of those problems.....:B :B:B Sorry had to poke the bear a little bit.

    Have a great camping season,hopefully we all can get out soon.

    WOW that is the second time you have had this problem in a month. I would think a whole new replacement front end would in order.



    Oh man, :S I forgot I posted about this before when I was talking about the fuel issue. I guess i can't delete it huh.

    Well, maybe it's just an update on my search for a bracket......Thanks for keeping an eye on me.....
