Rear Sway bar?

[Deadman]

If thats from Hellwig I would be afraid thats the old style bar? ...

Did the part numbers change after the upgrade? Might want to verify you got the updated part...?

Installed the bar this morning (Replacing the factory installed bar.) and it fit just fine. It makes the econ mode fell like normal mode and it no longer tilts on turns. Very happy with it.

Box says it fits 2007 and up.

They are redesigning the 2018+'s, because they told me the old style bar damaged the 2018+ vehicles. They didn't say how or what, but they said they were damaging the vehicle itself!
I'm guessing it interfered with something underneath...... They told me they wouldn't have an ETA on the 2018+ bars until they retooled their part.

So weird we keep getting all kinds of different responses from them. They clearly told me they damage the vehicles, yet they tell you they just don't fit. Who knows anymore.
Once mine EVER shows up, I'll get some pics of it.

The invoice says:

Shipped from Hellwig

Description: 7688 Ford Exped. RSB 16.05/412

 

[Deadman]

Looks like it fits fine from what I can see!

@Epps is the Hellwig substantially thicker than the OE Ford bar?

I see that Hellwig also makes a front bar (P/N 7696)....hellwig has no listings for anything beyond 2018 MY.
Ive sent another message to Vern to check on their progress (im betting I know the answer....Kalifornia still shut down ti 18th of May)

Did he give you any idea on lead-time, by chance?

that email indicates its available and currently shipping.

Here's from Customer Service last week!
"Right now the part is still on backorder. From my understanding the item is being re-engineered. Not current ETA."

I just sent Vern a message too.

I just ordered my new one again last week. It stated on the website they were working, just could expect delays. I guess we shall see.

Mines been ordered and paid for since March 2nd....... I would HOPE they get it done if they are actually working!

Your order was received and input on 04/01, via the company that handles our website orders, but we’ve hit a delay in getting the kit out due to some missing components. We should be shipping it out by no later than 05/15, at the very latest.


Please don’t hesitate to reach back out, should you need any other information. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.


Thanks.


Vern sent this to Maria and this is her response for me! ^^^^^

Can’t wait for some feed back. Looks like we will be able to use the boat this summer. Unless morons ruin it for us.
