Built for vehicles that work hard, this Dorman OE Solutions sway bar link kit (SL85231RD) is a direct-fit replacement for the front left position on the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility.

The RD on the package stands for "rugged duty," Dorman's exclusive chassis line engineered for severe-duty service. That includes off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other grueling conditions, as well as emergency vehicles such as ambulances and off-road rescue trucks that need maximum dependability. The link connects the sway bar to the suspension so the bar can help control body roll. This kit is designed for improved durability to help maximize service life under heavy use.

  • Upgraded direct replacement: Designed to match the OE fit in specified severe-duty applications and engineered for improved durability.
  • No-compromise construction: Intended for vehicles used for off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other tough commercial duty where readiness is required.
  • Durable construction: Designed and built to strict specifications for reliable performance when replacing failed original sway bar links on specified vehicles.
  • Trustworthy quality: Supported by Dorman's chassis engineering and manufacturing experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.

Signs a sway bar link may need replacing include clunking or rattling over bumps, a loose feel in the suspension, and increased body lean in turns. This kit covers the front left position, and replacing both front links together is recommended. Engine details for each application are listed in the Buyer's Guide tab.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the right stabilizer bar link kit for a 2011-2019 Ford Explorer or 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility?

Yes. It is a direct-fit replacement for the front left position on the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

What does "RD" mean on this Dorman part?

RD stands for "rugged duty," Dorman's exclusive chassis line. It is engineered for severe-duty service such as off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and emergency vehicles.

What does a sway bar link do?

It connects the sway bar to the suspension so the bar can help resist body roll as the vehicle leans. A worn link weakens that connection.

What are signs a sway bar link may need replacing?

Common signs include clunking or rattling over bumps, a loose feel in the suspension, and increased body lean in turns. Inspect the links to confirm the cause before replacing.

Should I replace both front sway bar links at once?

This kit is for the front left position. Replacing both front links together is recommended so both sides of the sway bar are in matching condition.
