I don't know of anyone who makes a rear stabilizer bar for Escapes, but it wouldn't surprise me. Looking at the rear suspension components, I'm not sure where you'd even attach the links for each side, except maybe for the lower shock mounts on the knuckle.

I heard that the 2009 models might have an 18.5mm rear stabilizer bar, though. When the service DVDs are released for the '09 models, I'll take a look.

Nope, neither the '07 or '08 models had one from the factory. Here's the '08 rear suspension exploded view, from the service DVD. It doesn't look much (or any) different from the '01 to '07 models:

I don't know if this will help Addco, since it doesn't really show the body around the rear suspension (which is where they'd have to mount the inner links for the bar). I think they could design one to use the inner side of the shock bolt on the ends (with links to the bar), mount the bar on the rear side of the suspension, and curve it to clear the spare tire on the '05+ models.

I'll bet the '09 models will use a new knuckle with an attachment point exclusively for the sway bar link. It would also be great to see Ford increase the rear track at the same time.
