[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15658347, member: 141815"] The anti-roll bar while using adjustable links doesn't have to be parallel with the ground to be effective. The anti-roll bar is nothing more than a torsion bar spring that transfers weight from one side of the car to the other to control body roll. The adjustable end links that connect the bar to the car can be used to as a way to pre-load the bar left or right to move weight around in the front suspension as a method of balancing corner weights of the car. For a street driven car you want to adjust the links to the exact same length, plus you want to make sure the bushings that mount the anti-roll bar to the car are parallel to each other and the frame rails for no suspension pre-load. This will have zero effect on corner weights when the car is sitting statically on a level surface with nobody in the car as Ford designed it originally. The aftermarket end links with a spherical bearing eliminates the bushings to make the bar respond quicker to weight shifting left/right-right/left as the car body begins to roll in a turn. The factory end links bushings will deflect as weight is transferred from one side of the car to the other by the anti-roll bar, which slows the effects of the bar in transferring weight to combat body roll.
