there is a problem reversing it on the 98+ (atleast the svt) where there is something... i forget what... in the way. Origionally on my 96 we had the bar facing the other way with absolutely no issue. On the SVT though we had to just pull the AC line ( i guess) out just a bit and put the brace behind it. no damage or anything as it was moved very slightly, had no problems.



i think you are thinking of the difference between a zetec and a duratec, a zetec doesn't have the AC line over the brake booster, on teh duratec it is there and is in the way because the bar and the AC line want to live in the same spot

not the round black type thing on the back of the manifold near the vacuum line might be the issue with the duratec also, I beleive a bar that comes straight across, like the SHo one that bolted to the struts would contact this and cause it to break from its mount


again a pic would help, I can host if needed
