Guys:
I've been searching for a sway bar for the rear of my car but so far I've come up empty.  I'm not into racing, just a stable ride in the mountains where I live.  Anybody got any recommendations?

Larry’s Thunderbird list one. 1 inch for the rear. I wouldn’t add just a rear bar without doing a front one if it’s not already there. Second row down, no picture.

Addco doesn’t list one, but I’d be tempted to call and ask them. I’ll bet they still have the drawings. I bought my first sway bar from them in 1967 or so for a 55 bird.

If you're a member of the 1952 - 1959 Ford social group over on the HAMB there's a guy on there who makes sway bars. Unfortunately I can't recall his name but if you ask I'm sure somebody over there will know.

Another source is  Thunderbirds Southwest (LaGrange, Texas.  I got a front one for my 54 from him.  800-722-8697

As miker mentioned, presumably your car has a front bar? If not, don't install a rear one & don't install a very heavy one at the rear. Too much bar at the rear can cause a "tail happy" rear handling situation, sometimes called oversteer..

.Addco stopped making them for our Applications for some Reason. I was looking for One a couple of Years ago and that was the Answer I got from them. 

  

Try Carolina Sway Bars.  Never bought from them but a vendor recommended them  828-733-0808

Thanks guys.  Yes, there is the factory front sway bar on the car and after I replaced the bushings Ithe car felt quite a bit better, but still with too much body roll.  With this many to check with I have high expections of findimg  one.

Dobie, I think it's Dave from Drop 'em and Stop 'em that has the sway bars.
