    Hey 98linc, thanks for the welcome! I saw that there was a guy a long while back that had made a few sets of poly bushings for the mark VIII, but last post I had read was that he was trying to off-load them from lack of interest in them. Not sure but he may have had someone/done it himself...

    AutoZone - duralast ball joints

    I pretty much stay away from Duracrap anymore. Everything with the name on it is the cheapest of the cheap. Brake pads, suspension parts, hydraulics, electronics, everything. If I absolutely have to, I try to get parts from O'reilly or Napa. I have had better luck with their brands than other...

    Control Arm Bushing Press-Out/Press-In

    Also, just for giggles. Is there a FWD car without independent front suspension?

    Control Arm Bushing Press-Out/Press-In

    Ah, I forget about the mark VIII (shame on me). Also I wasn't aware that it too had an IRS. I just recall that all of the mustangs and big body cars were straight axle cars, save for those few year models of cobras AND the Mark VIII. Thanks for the info there, so was the Mark VIII using an 8.8"...

    Control Arm Bushing Press-Out/Press-In

    Yours look good Robot, the easy check is to apply force to the front and rear of the tire, if they move then you're PRS links are bad. Those toe links should be rock solid, considering they weren't intended to move till 60 MPH or so. The only other car that ford even built with an IRS would be...

    Control Arm Bushing Press-Out/Press-In

    Getting the right durometer is key, mine are hard, but not very hard. I imagine you could get a harder compound, however I fear that alignment may become an issue due to lack of deflection (the adjusting toe links may not handle the additional force, I know for a fact you don't want to keep the...

    Here is the link to the bushings I made for my car. I found the sketch and can make more of them if I get some interest, message me for pricing and details. I was mistaken before, durometer of the polyurethane is 80A, not 60A as mentioned before. Enjoy...

    Control Arm Bushing Press-Out/Press-In

    No Tea and Crumpets here, Just good ole fashioned ingenuity. The passive rear steering was a great idea, and over all probably enhances the high speed cornering performance of an LS. However, a worn out rear suspension in an LS doesn't help in the slightest. When you can't keep the car from dog...

    Be honest. Is the lincoln ls scene pretty much dead?

    I think me and my pops would get along with you jerry. My dad just bought a retrobird last week, Black on black, pristine 40K. He also owns a 65 T-bird that he keeps stored, along with an 87 XJS LS1 conversion. We have been Ford and Jag fans together since I could roll underneath the XJ6 he...

    Control Arm Bushing Press-Out/Press-In

    Sounds like you are a brave soul like me. Ford highly discourages attempting to replace those bushings on the rear end LCA's, but what do they know!? I tried to install those bushings as well, and had similar results (metal being removed no matter how precise I got my setup), thing is I do have...

    Thanks for the add! I'm excited about becoming a member of LVC. Since my purchase of my ragged out 2001 Lincoln LS in 2012, I have become quite familiar with the LVC site. Seeing as how my car was originally a New Orleans car, where it spent a large majority of its life, and owned by 5 other...
