Do I need a different wishbone for my V6 Contour than the part you offer? Mondeos use different wishbones for 4 cylinder and V6 cars?

Or, Can I use the wishbone you offer now (metal part) with different bushes - a part that you will have available soon?

If this works out, I would like to buy one set to test on my 2000 SVT contour, followed by a much larger order as part of a "group buy" for the Contour Enthusiast group (CEG).

as i understand it - the wishbone on a 4 cylinder mondeo is different to the V6

Our arms can only be used on 4 cylinder models

the V6 uses a similar shape wisbone but the orientation of the bush is conventional - that is the axis of the movement of the arm is in line with the centre hole of the bush.

this is applicable to UK models - it might be different in the USA

I can clarify this if you can fax me or email me a pic of the front suspension layout for both the 4 cylinder and V6 contours

regards




Anyone have pics of "the the front suspension layout for both the 4 cylinder and V6 contours?"

Different engines do not entail different control arms designs for Contours. Early/Late Model year difference, sure ΓΆβ?¬β?? but not drive train differences. It might be useful to show him that I guess.

I wonder why Ford went that route with Mondeos?

Is there any chance that this guy is confused about V6 Mondeos? The arm in the picture looks like it could bolt right on my car.
