I saw energy suspension makes a rear control arm bushing set for $20. Has anybody replaced the rear bushings before? Would this include replacing those bushings that are in the hub? How difficult is it, and do you need a blow torch and press? My bushings in the hubs look good still, but the bushings under the car where the rear control arm mount to the chassis look rough.

****Title was supposed to be rear control arm bushings

I'm also looking for new endlink bushings but can't seem to find any.

First, if you want help you need to explain a bit better. At the rr of our cars, there are 3 control arms per side. Only control arm which mounts to the CHASSIS is the trailing (longitudinal mount) arm via a bracket. The other 2 are laterally located and mounted to the knuckle (outboard) and the rr subframe (inboard). They are commonly called the main control arm (forward) and the toe arm (rearward). The factory toe arms are POS.

End link bushings (on the main control arm) can/could be purchased seperately from Ford. Haven't checked lately, nor would I. There are better solutions out there.
 
does redcoat raceworks make the rear toe arms that are tubular? i'm interested in those


If you take a look at the pix of his rr suspension build, the chrome silver tubular toe arms and boxed & slotted main control arms were supplied by me. I did his subframe and end links too.

Thanks Tony.
