I performed the "fix" on the front sway bar this morning and took it for a test drive. I was very impressed with the tighter feel on the front end. Should I do the same to the rear sway bar. Will I...

My understanding is that this is beneficial for the older F53 chassis coaches. Not sure about a new one. Handling difference -- with ours it previously seemed that you had to constantly correct the steering and couldn't go straight down the road. Also when semi's went past it about blew you off the road. It was 2 hands on the wheel and never a moment of easy driving. Now, semi's don't blow you over and steering can be a one hand affair with all the constant back and forth to keep it on the road. We had already tried new tires - front end alignment and put a steering stabalizer on. This adjustment made a world of difference and DH said he wished he would of known about it 3 years ago when we started driving all over.
You have it backwards. This is for the newer F-53
No I think you have it wrong. I've seen this fix on every year since 1998 as Ford really hasn't changed the design since except for the shape of the rear bar. If I were under my chassis I wouldn't be able to tell the difference from my neighbors 2010. I just ordered the Hellwig adjustable links today for my 1999 F53, but honestly I really don't have any issues with steering now. The only way I knew I had any sway is because a buddy that was following me one day told me it did.
I'll get them on next weekend if the weather is ok and i'll let everyone know what I think...
