T-Bird UCA/LCA

[KStromberg]

Will 97 Thunderbird control arms (upper AND lower) work on my 98 with the upcoming coil conversion? Just need to make sure I am right on this one. I am sitting on the payment screen. All I need is a YES and I will submit this order.....

Yes Aslong as going coil converted...will have to remove height sensors

Ok, that's what I thought. Pulled the trigger. Thanks!

Lower control arms are not the same, and the difference on the uppers is just the tab for the air ride sensor

Lowers are identical...difference is bushings they will fit and they will work...get a alignment after

What do you mean??? I got a repeated YES to this question back when I had to change one side. My left LCA is from a T bird..No problems .

Thanks guys. I felt 99% ok with going forward with the purchase but I wanted to be 100% sure.

Yeppers. I'm getting T-Bird lowers for mine. They work fine.

 

[Sapperfire]

The Tbird LCA have a stiffer bushing, yes they work, but the ride will feel a bit firmer

Ok, thread revival. So can I use the Mark VIII control arms with my coil conversion? I had to replace them recently and still haven't got this damn thing on springs yet.

yes. upper and lower both are fine for use with coils.

 

[KStromberg]

Thanks Chris!

I might be tempted to sell these MOOG T-bird upper and lowers then to maybe recoup some money for springs since I just gave the mechanic $1597 today.

I wonder if they would sell on here. :shifty:
