Bushing Kit for my Car: Thoughts - Mustang Forum

From6to8 · 02-02-2012, 04:58 PM

Non race, track car, but i do play around with it sometimes when I'm in the mood to but normally just a cruiser, weekend driver for the most part. Do I need to go all out on a suspension kit and what do you think about this one I found while googling some suspension kits?

I also still have the V6 sway bars still on. Would it be a definite notice to change those and for what I am doing with the car what sway bars if any might be good to go with. I might can get some GT ones from a junkyard or even possibly cobra ones. I know a guy that has a good bit of mustangs usually at his junkyard.

I actually probably need to replace the ball joints as well and any other things you guys can think of.

Definitely get a full kit from Energy Suspension. I'd also get some aluminum rack bushings, as well as urethane trans and motor mount bushings.

Ever tried to replace the UCA and LCA rear control arm bushings ? Have fun

After market control arms easier

Also for the front, just buy a set of the FRPP 03-04 Cobra lower control arms and call it a day. Better bushings and ball joints, better geometry

You are still throwing money and parts at that pile?

Car suspension was great, I just needed better springs.

I already have subframes and also rear upper and lowers, but i need to check and see what shape the bushings for the arms are in. I will check to see the cost of the different things I need and weigh just buying new control arms with the bushings already in vs. getting the new bushings put in.

So how much were the cobra front arms, the upper and lower rears, and the sway bar? I still have the v6 front sway bar on too and might need to replace it.

I wasn't going to buy Global West but I bought them because a guy had bought them and never picked them up so the company sold them to me dirt cheap. My intentions were to get Maximum Motorsports.

003 on here owns speedconcepts.net and can prob help you out with pricing if you talk to him.

frpp uppers, are those fords? I actually had bought a set of ford ones but i put bushings in the macs I had bought after they went bad. I still have the ford ones and they are in great shape if those are fords in the link u provided.

also pricey for the cobra fronts, so might not go that expensive, not sure. Might also not go maximum motorsports will have to do some price checks on other stuff.

I was going to get a bushing kit but if i get new arms, i wont need a whole bushing kit will I ? What other bushings will need changing out if were to get new fronts, then rear upper and lower arms? I never changed any bushings out upon engine swap so i know i need to do them
