i believe the 94 had a 2 piece driveshaft. prone too vibration! either get dennys driveshaft or get one off of a 93, like mine. hehehe! sorry!

Yup, That is the exact same driveshaft you have now.



I have always been a little leary buying suspension component off of e-bay. I don't really have a reason, but I don't mind spending the extra money for something that I KNOW works correctly.

I just put that same suspension on my 93 Mark a couple of weeks ago and I would recommend it to anyone. It's awesome.

i thought all year marks had aluminum driveshafts. if the 95's did not have them, that is news to me.

Nope. The only thing I sell is auto repairs. I own a shop in NC. We do computer controlled repairs and drivability problems. Don't do suspension work. It was for one of my own Marks

become a GOLD member and it will only cost you 349.00 delivered from StrutMasters. the 94 driveshaft is a 2 piece unit, not worth it.

All mark driveshafts are alum. just is either a 1pc (93) or 2pc (94+)

$349 for the lowered coil spring conversion?

Actually, it'll be about $415 for the lowered kit.

That said, it's still worth becoming a gold member. You'll need other repairs eventually, and a gold membership will get you discounts on replacement parts for whatever else might break in the future.

Between the discounts I received from purchasing products from Five Star Ford and Strutmasters, the cost of buying the gold membership has already payed for itself, and then some.

Plus, it'll last a whole year.

That's interesting!

Their webpage currently says $554, and with the 25% LvC discount, I expected the price to be $415.

Well then, if it's really $369 then that's all the more reason to sign up!
