I also replaced all the rear sway bar hardware with new ford parts. Please help!
If you haven't replaced the struts, they're probably worn and the biggest contributor to bad handling. Does the nose pull down under braking, and jump up under acceleration? Changing struts will make the biggest difference. Then, if you want to improve from there, you can move on to the other things
