Hi all, Was told today that new upper ball joints are needed for the green wonder, is this the right part number...the guy says it is, but just checking.....thanks....Robert http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=34200&item=2436717745 Also was told that the control arm needs new bushings ($10 so no biggie) is that an o.k. rebuild, or better off going new?????:confused:
K8142 is Moog's number and is correct for the 3 bolt design. You talking about upper or lower A arm? Uppers, you can put in new bushings. Lower, its easier to buy a new unit. While you got it apart, replace the spring insulators and perch saddle. Mustang stuff is the same.
What do you mean Mustang’s the same? Are u saying that I can use mustang rubber insulators for the springs. Do you know the part #? And what are Perch saddles? This would help me out… because I’ve got this really bad Skronk’n skweeak when I come to a stop. Thanks
The suspension for 67-73 Mustangs are the same. Spring insulators are the same. The spring perch (saddle) is the pivoting part that the bottom of the spring sits on. The rubber bushing wears out and squeeks. CJ Pony parts has upper insulators for $2.95 each. Part # is CSI1. Spring saddles are part # CSS and are $19.95 each. http://www.cjponyparts.com/
wrong word sorry, wrong word......the upper ball joints and IDLER arm, not control arm......:confused: the alignment guy said a rebuild in on the arm in order to keep the car original.....wow he cares.....the ball joints seem to be correct so I'm gonna buy the ebay ones....alignment guy wants $40 each for his, so........thanks for the input.....Robert:bananaman :bananaman
Hey Comet Dad. As they say...."While you're in the nieghborhood" I would suggest you redo all the suspension on the front.
I dont recommend polygraphite and I really didnt like the upper ball joints supplied with PST kits. I ended taking mine out and throwing them in the trash. You'd be better off getting an OEM type kit from any Mustang supply house.
