Y’all are petty it’s not that serious. I’ll just delete both posts and figure it out myself.

Good luck hope your ford parts hookup behind the counter knows how to turn a wrench. Its an easy fix, it's not that serious.

If it’s an easy fix what is your solution? Because you’ve done nothing but criticize. You don’t need to be an a$$hole when I’m just trying to figure out why there’s an extra bracket on the one side versus the other side. Btw my ford guy doesn’t turn the wrench I do. Don’t be mad a girl knows how to turn a wrench.

I'm not mad that's awesome. Not sure why you're having trouble taking peoples advice and getting the OEM swat bar ends links and replacing the existing ones. Been mentioned as a solution a few times now.

Because they are not long enough they are only 9inches the sway links on it now are 10 7/8s and the OEM ones don’t appear to be adjustable like the ones on it currently. I’m assuming a lift was installed and I found sway links that adjust but they are only available in a kit. I’m looking into a set from HRG that are for a lifted Bronco sport but there’s no measurements to make sure they would fit. Our curiosity is just why this extra bracket was installed on one side and not the other, unless the other side broke prior to my owning the vehicle. We’re trying to clean off the bracket to see if it has any marking on it that would indicate where it came from because Ford said it’s definitely not OEM. Which shocks me because I honestly had no clue the vehicle was lifted.

Right you've said that. Please go back and re read both your threads. There are answers.

I'm starting to think this is a troll account

I’m starting to think you’re just an a$$hole that doesn’t have a clue either.

Ok good luck figuring it out yourself.

As I posted in your other thread, those parts (bracket and sway bar link) look like Rough Country parts. If you didn't purchase the vehicle new, it may have had a lift installed, or maybe it still does, you would need to look at the top of your struts to see it they have spacers installed. If it doesn't have spacers, the lift could have been removed but forgot about removing the drop bracket and returning the sway bar link back to stock.
Without actually looking at it myself, it's hard to diagnose on a forum.

I think you have reached the extent of the assistance you can get until you determine for sure whether or not a lift has been installed. Since you say OE parts are not long enough it seems almost certain that's the case. Once you determine for sure you can then make a decision about how to proceed. My suggestion would be to put everything back to stock before you do anything else. Otherwise you risk have a mish-mash of part from different vendors installed on your car with no clue how they might interact with each other. If you go back to fully stock you will at least know all the suspension components will perform safely.

Thanks I believe that’s the route we are going to go, we are gonna get it on a lift this weekend and check to see if there are spacers.

Keep in mind, you can also lift with longer springs, so if you don't see spacers that might be why.

did you fix it yet?

You guys can just be such a$$holes to ppl. Just get off your high horses a bit. Not everyone in mechanically inclined or wants to be. God forbid someone posts in wrong spot, or doesn’t search threads, or post more than one time. People make mistakes, that is life! Old saying, “If you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all!”
