    Great find. Are they the same length as the stock ones? The stock ones work on Econolines too.

    I was going to go that route, but I had to have a backup plan if they broke while removing them.

    Personally, I think $100 to fix a problem that shows up every 20 years is pretty reasonable. Wink

    The main point is you found a solution to a problem,,,,, the sway bar link off a 96 Ford pick up fits a 66 Dodge Van,,,,,,and choices on where to get them,,,,,brand new,,,,,as a repair kit or from the wrecking yard,,,,,,thats all that matters,,,,,,,

    Do you have a part number for that Napa 97 Explorer front sway bar replacement link? The one it shows does not look like what we need,,,,,,,,

    It's a stock one for the vans. Some have it, some don't.
    It bolts to the rails and extends through the sides of the belly pan.

    Since the A100 link fits the Econoline I would assume the Econoline link fits A100. Kanter has them if you call but their website doesnt show it. Price is about $20 so Im told.

    I wanted to share my progress so others dont make my mistake. I wanted to save $$ so I thought i'd keep my links, and use the repair kit as mentioned by donivan65. The Oreilly part number referenced over to a Moog K8434, which I bought from Autozone. When I placed the bushings into the large circle of the link, the bushings wiggled as they were too small. This is when it hit me that these bushings are for a link that would have gone on a ford. so it looks like i'm back to square one and i'll have to get the entire set-up, links and all.
