The stud portion of the link goes thru it with a nut on the bottom. I got mine from the Ford dealer. They were about $5 each. Not too bad to install. These are hard to find in stock at parts houses. Dealers usually have them. They are rubber, and take a beating, and will eventually wear out. Al

You are after stabilizer (sway) bar end links (or at least their bushings) not control arms and/or their bushings. Suggest you leave it to dealer to select proper part for your car if they are going to be doing installation (avoids the inevitable warranty problem of; it was your part, not my labor). 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 110,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 125,000km stock CD on LS, cass on LX spoiler, tinted windows on LS only 4 wheel discs on LX only All other available options on both

Sacrified an old hose and it works great. Very tight fit, and it has the braided nylon inside so it won't fall apart If it weren't a ***** to get at, i'd take a few pictures. I didn't have the camera at the time because I wasn't planning on them being so worn (and coming up with a ghetto replacement). -98 LS with BPU
