Mk 1 Escort rear sway bar link brackets

If it is an original Ford sway bay - then there are no drop links. It mountedvdirect to the chassis at the forwardvends. On the drivers side the bar just bolted through are was a solid steel rod that went through a reinforced hole in the chassis that wa otherwise unused. On the passenger side with cars with no rear bar, the reinforced hole has a solid steel rod inserted through through it that holds up the exhaust. For cars with an original sway bar, this rod was replaced with a bolt that went through the chassis rail and a custum hollow nut with an extension bar that allowed the exhaust to hang off this custom nut thing.... Make sure you get this custom nut thing and the eye mounts on the ends of the bar as the rest is easily got hold off.

If you like I can take a pic of the rear swaybar brackets on my capri, not sure if they are the same as escort ones though??

the brackets appear to just be some 6mm thick angle iron that has been cut and drilled to suit....
 
Here's a couple of pic anyway

 

No worries mate.
 
If your escort is anything like my capri the bolts will go straight through the chassis rails so make sure you install crush tubes in the holes when you drill them out

Yeah I know the bar is an after market item, it was on the car when I bought it so didnt know if the crush tubes were factory fitment or not, cheers
