Chrysler says you don't need one as it's built into the rear axle. Owners have gone ahead and added one on their own.

I love mine. I bought an aftermarket one just a little stronger than the factory one from MOPAR and it is perfect with the stock front bar in my opinion!! It takes a lot of the front end understeer out of the car. Along with the strut bar from Freedom it really does make a big difference.

The rear away bar was dropped in the 2003 production and Chrysler says you don't need it. Bull!!
Since we have both a 2002 Touring Edition and 2003 Limited Edition, I can tell the difference in handling. The 2003 is I purchased all the sway bar parts from Chrysler, (bar, links, nuts, bolts, etc.) and installed it myself and now the 2003 handles like the 2002.
