i recently installed koni adjustables and h&r springs, before i installed them. i was hearing a metal hitting metal sound...thought it was the suspension. so i changed it out and put in the koni's and h&r's...the problem still exists. i jacked the car up over the weekend and started pounding on things with a rubber mallet....the rear tie bar is hitting the bottom of the rear spindle making the noise i was hearing, the bushing on the spindle looks shot. however ford doesn't sell just the bushings for either the tie bar or the spindle. i can't find anyone that does. and ford of course will only sell me the entire spindle @ around $197.00 a side. has anyone had this problem, and what did you do to correct it?
