Poly bushings from BAT for the sway bars. The new Ford end links are pretty nice. They are more beefy than the older style. I can get you a pic and part # tonight if you want. It's your choice for tie rods. Just do the LCA's with the ball joints already on and you'll be good to go.






Sweet! Yeah, if you could get me a pic & part #, that'd be awesome. As for tie rods, any reason you guys wouldn't go with an aftermarket part? Or would you only go with Ford OEM pieces?

if you get a motorcraft part it has the grease fitting and the nut and bolt holding it to the hub have a pin through them (easier to hold in place, remove and replace). The ford part does not have the grease fitting and does not come with the nuts to hold the tie rod to the hub. You get everything you need and a grease fitting with the motorcraft part.

Just a little plug for rawburt here, the thing that helped my rear end squeeks and clunks the most was a rear strut tower bar.

They are ALL gone now, and the car feels TERRIFIC



Me too. Big reduction in noise with a rear strut bar.

So if anyone wants to share the motorcraft part number, it'd be sweet!

call Bill J. He knows the difference and could give you the part number.
