I remember reading a post about BAT ran out of the Control Arms with horizontal bushings? Anyone can confirm this?

Oh well... I guess I'll have to pay $30 more and get them from Bill Jenkins or Fordpartsonline.

Are the horz bushing type control arms pressed on or can they be switched easily. Mine are completely detorated

The bushings aren't replaceable without getting a whole new control arm. The arms aren't pressed on, but I certainly don't call their replacement easy.

Read about my experience

If you're just worried about bushings, SHO-Shop offers quite a few urethane bushings for Contour suspension. You may want to try them.

... at least on the 95 - midyear 98 (built up to Dec 97 give or take) models.

No one has replacement bushings for the control arms. You have to buy the entire arms.
