Description

Tie the front sway bar back to the suspension and keep body roll in check with the Dorman - OE Solutions Front Suspension Sway Bar Link Kit 542-609. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement on many vehicles, among them the 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, 1988-1997 Ford Ranger and 1989-1990 Ford Bronco II. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full application list.

A front sway bar link connects the sway bar to the suspension so the bar can resist body lean through turns. When the link's joints wear, you may hear clunking or rattling from the front over bumps and feel looser, less-planted handling — signs this part may need replacing.

Direct replacement: fits and performs like the original equipment on the listed vehicles.
Reliable fit: precision-engineered to match the design and dimensions of the original components.
Durable construction: built to strict standards using sturdy, safe materials.
Rigorously tested: thorough quality-control measures for longevity.
