FYI. I purchased stock UCAs, LCAs and swaybar from a 2003 GT for $20 to replace my 1990's worn out parts. After a couple hours, I had them swapped out and they worked 100%, even the stock '90 sway bar bolted right up. The LCAs were physically identical and I could only guess that the 1999+ Stangs must have a mounting spot for ABS, etc.

Where did you get Upper Control Arms, LCAs, and a bar for $20? Also, did you replace all the bushings? Which ones did you use?

The 99+mustangs use 18mm bolts vs the previous 79-98 14mm for the UCAs and LCAs.

So you probably got some 94-98 arms.

Ebay, where else?, though shipping was $40

They were advertised as 2003 GT and looked new. I see them all the time for cheap...

I just found out that the new bolts are larger and I should have widened the holes a couple of mm and used 99+ bolts, but I ran the car hard for two days at an autocross and didn't notice any ill effects.
