Factory style rear control arm bushings request

Post by Luis5.oh »

Hi! Does somebody have found out where to purchase OE rubber bushings for the rear control arms in older mustangs? from what I know they use a 12mm bolt and they should be similar from fox, Lincoln and SN95 (not new edge since it uses a 14mm bolt).

*Ive look everywhere with no luck (E parts stores don't list them for sn)
*Looks like they sell the rear upper control arm bushings in rock auto for FOX mustangs, I wonder if they fit the SN
*A factory style control arm is about 100 each (about the same as a performance CA), honestly doest make much sense to replace the entire CA
*RARE PARTS sell 2 bushings for 270 USD insane!
*Ford Aerostar CA lower rear bushings looks identical to the mustang, but they aren't listed to fit it and appears to have the 14mm bolt style (see attached picture)

But why do I want to replace just the bushings? Well I've had terrible experience with anything Poly, I drive my car daily and my streets are a mess, also I do enjoy doing all the jobs in my car myself and I just done the entire front suspension and handles like stiff grand marquis (I love it), my last resource is to buy replacement entire control arms but that's like 200 vs 25 in bushings.

I think i can find my old fox lowers and we can measure them up. I thought they were the same but not positive.
My car wheel hopped a ton with those stockers though.

I appreciate if you can do that, maybe the ford Aerostar 95 lca bushing will be the same, and as far as the hop, I don't think new rubber bushings will make my car hop, my sn doesn't hop even with the ancient bushings it has, I have expensive control arms in my s197 and sometimes the squeak drive me crazy

I found this set of 2. You can't beat that, plus you just throw them in and go.
