You don't have one.

It connects the rear control arms.

You can pick one up at a salvage yard for $35.00

Yeah the rear sway bar makes a world of difference. It keeps the back of the car flat in turns and such... Trust me on this one... I love the way mine handles now... Then again, mine's got a few extra suspension toys

i know roush is one of the brands which sells sway bars. i've also tried searching for one and here's what i found.. http://accessories.accessoriesgiant.com/?x=175&y=15. it's not bad for an aftermarket product unlike others that'll charge a little more.

hope this helps.

I took one off from a local junk yard some years ago. It's worked and hasn't broken with ~6K rpm launches on slicks or some road racing that I've done.
I think it was like $15 at the JY ahahahahah... not bad...

There're two holes in each of the control arms (one may have a parking brake line).

There're two holes in the sway bar. (It should come with the bolts).

Un-hook the parking brake, bolt in the sway bar.

yeah, I can corner 15-20 mph higher than without.

Suspension's still a bit soft, but given the number of miles I put on the car, I'm not addressing that until the OEMs give out.

The sway bar will also help you control the rear under launch.
