aFe Control Front and Rear Sway Bar Set for 2020-2026 Ford Explorer ST 3.0L V6 Twin-Turbo, Part Number afe440-304001-R

Dramatically reduce body roll without sacrificing ride quality with aFe CONTROL’s Explorer ST sway bars. Our 3-way adjustable front & rear sway bars will allow you to easily dial in the handling balance of your ST. Sharpened steering response will improve initial turn-in making your Explorer feel lighter and more agile. The added stability and control are also welcome when hauling loads on your roof rack or towing. Whether you’re on a road trip with the family or canyon carving in the mountains, aFe CONTROL will get you there. Every aFe CONTROL sway bar is CAD designed and CNC bent to strict tolerances. This insures precise fit and perfect operation. Our front and rear sway bars are 3-way adjustable. This allows the driver to dial in the front and rear roll resistance to achieve the desired handling bias. The front sway bar utilizes CNC machined ends and the rear has laser cut end plates. These are robotically welded to the bar in a dedicated fixture to insure accurate hole positioning and consistent manufacturing. aFe CONTROL includes low-deflection polyurethane bushings and premium 6061-T6 aluminum black anodized billet brackets. Rear brackets are equipped with grease fittings for easy maintenance. aFe CONTROL Front and Rear Sway Bar Set Ford Explorer ST 20-26 V6-3.0L (tt)
