bushings

[ScottieHottie]

hey i need prices on rear control arm bushings for the fox. just need lower but if they are good price i might as well do the uppers while the hole rearend is out.
thanks

Those aren't really replaceable. The stock bushings are like an oval shape.

Get MM lowers, FRPP uppers, maybe change out the bushings on the top of the differential.

I seen the oval bushings before but there expesive. Might as well spend the few extra bucks and get new arms.....

agreed with everyone else here, get a set of uppers and lowers, they are bone cheap:

ok, the lowers i have are after market all ready. but when i took them off the metel sleeve on one of them welded it self to the bolt. if i can just get a new one then cool but i thoght it would come all together. the rubber is still good on them..

those would make any mustang handle like complete shit, and yes that's worse than stock LOL

Care to elaborate on that one? I had a set identical to those on my GT and it didn't handle like complete shit.

anything stiffer than stock UCA's makes the quadra-bind worse, meaning worse snap oversteer with no warning.

I had that set on my 91 LX, Patrick told me not to install the uppers, I listened to him.

I left the stock bushings on the housing side.

i have stock axle-side rubber bushings and the bbk poly uppers that are +10 yrs old. mm XD lowers. coilover. no evil snap oversteer for me. the only reason those upper would come out is for a phb/ta combo. not worth the effort otherwise.

I installed a similar set on the 83 I gave to my brother. I left the UCA's stock and only the LCA's had poly in both locations.

Might want to contact someone like Energy Suspension and see what they say. I'm not sure if you can get the sleeve seperately. You might have to buy a new bushing kit. It should still be cheaper then new control arms.
