Suspension Bushings

[shagdrum]

Would front and/or rear t-bird control arm bushings work on a Mark VIII??

From what I'v researched

I would check with Lincoln Motor Sports and simply get their bushings.Maybe you have or can get the T-Birds bushings but I believe Geno's stuff would be the best way to go.Atleast the guess work will be gone and you will have quality parts.Just my opinion.

I didn't think he sold suspension bushings, just the ones for the differential (carrier bushings). Can't find anything for control arms (front or rear), sway bars, ect. on his site.

Napa my man.


Can't remember exactly, but it sticks in my mind that it was just under 100 for all of the bushings.

 

[shagdrum]

ALL the bushings? Front and rear control arms and knuckles? U have part numbers? Was it under Mark VIII or T-bird/Cougar?

For urethane bushings you could also try SCP.

Moog bushings helped me out; for cheap, too.

Most any parts store will handle high quality moog or trw parts, just try to steer clear of the really cheap hard parts because the quality is :q:q:q:q. I went through a set of cheap ball joints on a 3\4 ton Chev pickup in under 10k miles.

You can use T-Bird control arms and save $50 per unit.

The lower are the exact same part but sold at different prices.

The upper have the little nipple for the height sensor. But if you can weld or have someone who'll just hit it for you.. You can knock off the nipple from the old control arm and have it welded on the T-Bird Upper Control Arm.

If you have a air ride conversion you don't need the nipple.

The one's I have listed are the T-Bird lowers. The Mark's were around $90 each!
