I am looking for a 1987-88 Thunderbird TurboCoupe or Cougar XR-7 front sway bar.

Anyone have one for sale or know where I can get one?

Would one from a 5.0 Mustang work since they are both Fox bodies? I have mine off of my 5.0 LX.

I really don't know. I am using the parts interchange list found here:

I'm really looking for one of the ones with a 1 5/8" (1.31") diameter.
If someone knows that would be great. I'm in the NJ area.

From what I got at the Corral the Mustang sway bar is that size. Whether it will fit or not is another story, I'll have to investigate.

I've got one from a turbo coupe you can get. This is my first posting and I'm messing it up badly.....

If the Mustang one will fit your application I will give it to you for free, you pay shipping. I need the space.

I know this is a great offer, but I don't think that bar will fit. I looked up the accdo info in the differences between the two and they are two different part numbers.

Make sure you do the back sway bar. Or you will be in a mess. . .

Yeah, I was planning on getting an addco for the rear.

No you won't. Minor bumpsteer issues that are really negligible.

I tried private messaging bob5326, but still havn't heard back from him.

I think he might have lost the link for this forum ;)

I not only lost the link, but I lost my mind as well. But the good news is that I found them both. I drive an 87 turbo coupe w/auto and an 88 turbo coupe with a 5 speed, and have 3 others for parts. From what I know, the sway bars are the same. Some 5.0 mustangs also have the same size sway bar, but I'm not sure of the years or models.
