I'm going to buy Suspension bushing set, ball joint, etc.
Where is best to buy this?
I've been looking at the Summitracing and rock auto, there is a bit difference on the price, and diffirent brands, something that you would recommend?
Brand or where to buy.
Also where can I get Oil Pump Primer for our engine?

Thanks, David.

the front lower control arm uses the same bushings as a '94-'04 mustang. i used the steeda offset bushings to help with caster. they are expensive but i think they're worth it.

you can make an oil pump primer out of an old distributor. that's what i did.

Is the spring isolators not available now?
In what model of Mustang can i use the bushing from?
Because when i look for parts for the TC for example on summitracing there is not much selection, but it´s alot when i search for the mustang.
Is it just the fox body?
I need all the stuff front and rear and the Suspension End Links, Coil Spring Seats and ball joint.
Seem to me that i´m not finding any ball joint, and the coil spring seat, exept on rockauto, but i´m not sure about the quality and if it the currect part.

as i posted above, '94-'04 mustang bushings...front and rear control arms. fox mustang ball joints and the isolator from either fox or sn95 mustang.

edit: i thought you were talking about an '87-'88 TC. looking at your sig, now i'm not sure. '83-'86 TC uses fox mustang bushings.

Yeah i saw that, i was not sure if you where only talking about the the front lower control arm uses the same bushings, because i need all the bushings front and rear and sway bar and the ends, just a complete kit, not only for the front lower control arm.
And also i was wonder if there were more model that would fit.
But this is the awnser what i was looking for, thx.
Yeah i was talking about the 87-88 TC, i thought the bushings where the same on the earlier TC, am i not right?

Do you think this would fit:

You might want to also check the front bushing in the rear lower control arms of your car. Some had round bushings and some had oval.
