Default Mustang 2005 V6-Bolt sizes for Rear sway Bar install

I just did this today so thought I would get the bolt sizes on here for everyone else , Not sure why it seemed to be a mystery ,, If you can afford the Factory Clips and bolts go this way as it will be a much cleaner install .. If you want to use common Hardware Bolts Here are the sizes ,
4-5/16 x1 Grade 5 or better bolts , 2-7/16 x 2 1/2 bolts grade 5 or better and lock washers , You will also need 4 - 5/16 lock washers and flat washers , 4- 3/8 washers , Nuts for all the bolts , The lower bracket on the axle housing Has large holes for the clips so you will need the larger washers for that reason ,, Maybe someone could sticky this for future sway bar installers

If anyone wants to go with factory stuff this might help. It has pics and part #s as well as torque values. I went this way and it is alot less $$ if you order it online somewhere. Just thought i would mention the the factory stuff was calvinized and used nyloc nuts.

I would recommend factory if you can get it at a decent price.

I just used Steeda kit good quality but the bolts have allen heads and the washers are a little small. I stepped up the washers to next size, , used a vise grip to hold the allen heads (though my allen wrench would snap!) and was able to torque up to 52 lbs.

Steeda Rear Swaybar - '05-'09 Ford Mustang
555-1061
Hardware Kit for V6 with 555-1052/54 Swaybar $14.95

I rustoleumed flat black the axle and all suspension mount points that were not painted while I was under there, did not like the surface rust.
