control arm bushings ?

[Marked4Life]

Are the bushings in the Thunderbird control arms the same as the Mark 8?
I found a set of polyurethane bushings from Summit for $30.00 and I need to replace mine, it would be nice to upgrade if possible. I don't want to spend $130.00 if I don't need to.
Thanks guys

Do you have a Summit part number on those? Thx.

Here are the part #'s for Summit
Prothane front control arm bushings
Red # PTP-6-209 $38.99
Black # PTP-6-209 BL $34.95
I don't know if one kit does both sides or you need to buy 2 sets. I would ask if you call.
Hope this helps some of you, I need to find someone to help me take apart and press in the bushings, replace the air bags then get it back togeather again. (disabled because of back)

Thanks for the info. Are there any members in the North West that can help out?

Not that I know of, it sure would be nice to get some help. I would be willing to trade something for their help. I am fighting with my Long Term Dis. company! I haven't been payed in almost 8 months! Needless to say money is nonexistant at this time.
You guys are the best! Thanks

OK guys I goofed! The ones above are for the wrong year Thunderbird!
They do have Moog rubber bushings though.
Part # MOG-K8706 $21.95

Sorry about that.
