We've been systematically upgrading the 2020 Connect suspension and found out that the Factory Ford/Motorcraft end links are too long. Meaning that the sway bar is being deliberately forced into a negative angle or -20°. Typically the sway bar should be anywhere from -10° / Level / +10° We discovered this when attempting to add a new factory and aftermarket end link to the van and they are all too long. Motorcraft. Moog, Duralast and Mevotech to name a few, all have end links that measure 12'' when the end link should be 11.50 inches. We were able to acquire a set of adjustable end links and set the measurement to 11.50 inches (292mm).. Installed the links and placed the van on level ground. The sway bar was lifted from it's -20° to the correct and ideal level position. Do yourself a favor and add a set of adjustable end links (set to 11.5 inches or 292mm) and you WILL see a difference in handling.
