Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension Mystique Bushing Kit??

Just wondering whats availiable for bushing kits for a 97 Mystique. I just replaced the sway bar and all the bushings. And im looking into the BAT strut and spring kit. But i wanna see if i can replace all the rear bushings before i do the struts. Ive seen on SP motorsports that they have a couple of the bushings but what all can i replace and is there a complete kit for it?

No there is no such thing. Basically, it's a hodge-podge of parts, mostly Ford only. Trailing arm and toe control arm bushings can be had from Ford. I wouldn't waste my time with the toe control arm bushings though. The main/forward control arm must be purchased as a complete unit from Ford.

ES has a bushing kit for the trailing arms but I found it way too harsh, plus you must remove the knuckle to install one of the bushings. Plus it's a very messy, stinky job. Your neighbors won't appreciate the clouds of thick black smoke and the smell of burning rubber......

I was just more curious because when i was changing the sway bar i grabbed one of the bars in the suspension (not sure which one) but it goes to a low mounted bracket on the rear spindle and looks more like a solid bar than a control arm. And the bushing which connected it to the spindle seemed really loose cause i could move/twist the bar with my hands. Is this the trailing arm?
