Got the Hellwig rear sway bar installed on my 92, I can now officially pass a truck or be passed by a truck or drive in moderate crosswinds without clenching the steering wheel while sweating and sweating profusely.

Awesome, I sent you a PM.

Did you do the install yourself? This is something I was thinking about doing with my 98 E350 as well. It looks simple but I've never done it.

 

[eblau]

it was really easy, a little awkward to get bolted on by myself but took maybe 30 minutes start to finish

 

[shenrie]

^^^ pretty straightforward unless you have the 46 gallon tank. I don’t have that particular sway bar, but I had to face mine backwards to get it installed due to lack of space that the bigger tank occupied.

Cool thanks

A worthy upgrade by any measure but what tire pressure are you running? Dropping my PSI a LOT more than I thought I should was the magic trick for my 92.

Cool, you've hit upon the sweet spot, at least in my experience. On a heavy van I prefer 55f/60r with E-rated. 80 psi (recommended by many and put in as standard by most tire places) will make you swear your van suspension is possessed and trying to kill you. In fact, it is with that much air.

Have you done the ambulance front steering damper as well? That helped my 92.

 

[eblau]

no but i could certainly use something to dampen the action in the front, it's hard to describe but at speed it feels like the steering is way over assisted... perhaps a combo of 60psi front and no damper

I am running 42 to 46 psi on my tires. The pressure you want to set depends on the tires too, not just if they are E rated. I did this table to decide which tire size I was getting. Values are for Falken AT3W. I went with option 4
