Unless you're from a dry south-western state where the salvage yards keep older car inventories going back decades, your best bet is to find it online at a parts discounter like rockauto. You might find them in places like Car Parts Warehouse as well, I've gotten suspension parts for older cars through them as well.

a "set of stabilizer bars"?? Do you need lower control arms (with ball joint)? The sway bar is one piece in the front with a bushing on either side of the engine/trans. The rear beam is one piece. Struts? That's it for suspension, very simple. We buy moog lower control arms and moog bushings. come over to www.fordfestiva.com and we'll get you taken care of. Also check out the facebook page, just type in fordfestiva.com and it'll come up. Also, be aware that the captured nut inside the frame rail likes to break free when you go to remove the bolt. You need to try and spray PB, liquidwrench, etc a few days before up into that captured nut from inside the frame rail to hopefully prevent that issue.

Yes, I need the stabilizer bars. The one for the front and the one for the rear. Would like to find new ones that are a little bigger in diameter than the ones that come stock on it. I will also need the bushings and links.

Amazon, eBay nor summit have the stabilizer bar. They have the links and bushings.

These don't have independent suspension like little hondas, etc. The rear beam is as wide as the car. It acts like independent because it flexes like mad. Come join the facebook group and add pics of what you're after. We're very active over there.

and the sway bar is actually proper, and the rear beam is proper.. we update suspension with racelands and order springs from black magic, 120 front, 105 rear, and all of that costs around $500 and it's then a mountain carver. It also fixes torque steer.
