I yanked it all off and put full duals on mine)Some base and LX cars had the rear sway bar as well. Mine (base) has one but it's about as thick as a pencil Quote Selected

The rare LTD/LX, the Crown Vic LX, Escort LX and even late models like the Windstar and Taurus LX's are always higher trim levels (and in some cases, like the LTD/LX, an actual performance option). I think it was only the Mustang that used the LX badge on the bottom feeder (though I seem to remember Mustang GL's, GLX's, and L's as well, and I think all were below LX trim level in the early-mid 80's) Quote Selected
