Unfortunately my 98 has the 95-97 style of control arms, which are 2 or 3 times as much as the 98-00 arms. However, I did see someone on ebay is selling aftermarket arms in the style I need for a lot less than the Ford arms. Has anyone used these aftermarket arms?? Am I better off biting the bullet & using genuine Ford arms?? 98 Contour SE Sport Duratec 5 speed 79 F150 Ranger Lariat 351 auto 4wd 71 AMC Javelin AMX 401 auto 70 AMC Rebel Machine 390 4 speed 68 AMC AMX 343 4 speed
