pping suspension from my bird to the mark this weekend

[1sik32v]

What else needs to be swapped besides just the strut? Upper control arm, lower control arm etc.... thanks I saw somewhere that the uppers need to be changed but I also heard it was a straight swap thanks

what are you swapping exactly? the only difference between birds and marks in suspension is the little ball where ride height adjustor's mount.

For the front you can just put the tbird strut in..And from now on you can put tbirb uca's if the marks ever wear out..There alot cheaper. For the rear you'll need the top spring perch thing. You can take the one off the bird(saw off) and weld it to the mark. There is also a picture of the exact cutout on one of the mark forums where you can make youre own using a peice of metal w/ 4 bent corners. And the lower rubber pad bushing thing..When i got my kit the guy had included energy susp lower spring pad..i dont recall the size.

Just trying to do the struts shocks and springs that's it damn the rears sound difficult

And would the rear bags still pump up if the fronts arnt connected

mine worked fine like that for awhile then all a sudden the rear bags hit the ground and never pumped back up even though the comp and bags were fine. Prob sumtin electrical. You might have to mess with the hieght sensors though.

So no one sells those things or wut

 

[Lownslowlsc]

i think dlf does but he wants like 300 which is rediculous..But they are quality. But you can make them for prob 15 bucks or less. Or take the dimmensions to a metal shop.

Also put up a wanted ad on all the mark forums and tccoa. Might get lucky. But it will be harder to find just the mount, most will prob want you to buy the whole rear kit.
