Keep the rear stabilizer bar firmly tied to the suspension with the Dorman - OE Solutions sway bar link kit (542-650), a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer (all engines). The link connects the rear sway bar to the suspension so it can resist body roll through corners; a worn link can let the bar move freely, which may produce clunks and rattles over bumps.
Built from steel and coated for rust and corrosion resistance, this sway bar link kit is precision-engineered and tested to fit and perform like the original hardware on the listed applications. A greaseable design with grease fittings lets you relubricate the joint, rubber bushings are included, and a dust boot helps keep out road grit.
- Steel construction: coated for rust and corrosion resistance.
- Greaseable: includes grease fittings for periodic lubrication.
- Rubber bushings: red rubber bushings plus a dust boot.
- Mounting hardware included: 1 bolt, 4 bushings, 4 washers, and 1 locking nut.
The listed applications use two links; this kit is sold individually, and replacing both rear sides together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced handling. Made in the United States.
