Proper compression struts are located between the lower track control arm and a chassis mounting point and allow a greater range of caster adjustment than a custom threaded sway bar, the compression strut and any sway bar and attaching point is usually explicit for the compression strut kit being used, if the attachment point for the sway bar is existing you should be able to get a sway bar made up to suit it but you will need to know the deflection rate that you require on the car. This can be a process in itself as an escort needs to have both front and rear suspension tuned to what you use the car for, ie tarmac gravel etc and is a process to get right. You need weight transfer to the inside front wheel during cornering but getting the correct amount can be frustrating and expensive as it may involve lots of changes to suspension etc and depends how serious you want the car.
