Anyone find Ford's front lower control arms yet?

LOCASH · 02-08-2001, 12:37 PM

My lower control arms are original and hav had it. I have been calling around about the Ford upgraded pair but they were on back order for a long time. Anyone know where I can buy some? I have the service replacement (read "OE") for the left side, should I just get the other side and have the bushings put in?

Do you mean the LCA's in the rear? If so, you should get some aftermarket ones and not the stock replacement. StangNet Motorsports sells LCA's that have a spherical bearing in one end and poly in the other for $169. I am getting me a set.

If you really do mean something in the front end, disregard my post.

Thanks for the reply but I meant the front "A" arms.

I just got a pair from Mustangs Unlimited for $170, OE Replacements for the 87-93... upgraded w/ the self-lubricating ball joints. They come with rubber bushings, but I'm replacing them with offset poly's from Maximum Motorsports ($40)... not bad considering that Ford wants $290 for the A-arms from the factory...
