Well I changed rear brake pads this weekend and figured out why my lincoln doesnt feel very good in turns. Well sometime in the last month the bolt that goes threw the rear lower control arm is gone and the shock is just hanging there. My problem is that i cant find that bolt anymore as it is discontinued. Can anyone help me out?

check your local dealer to see if this kit is avil. part#F8LZ-18197-AA, this is a rear shock mount kit it comes with all attaching hardware, and the upper shock mounts (prone to fail also)

looking at your other posts i figured it is a gen one? that # is for a gen 2 but i dont know how much the rear shocks have changed between the two models

Actually ive already replaced the upper mounts and gone to the dealer to only have them tell me that they uncontinued and that they can not get them anymore
OH btw it is a first gen
