I am in the process of rebuilding my motor and doing some suspension. I need new balljoints and saw that Ford sell some with the newer design balljoints and new bushings. there 189.99 I figured that was a pretty good deal?

It is a great deal - just make sure the arms are in stock and ready to be shipped (they were way-backordered a while back here).

Good luck.

E - I lost track of all the scuttlebutt. At one point, I think they were lookin for new folks to make the arms, etc. Do you know if they did recruit a new manufacturer and how the quality is? I only ask because I know you follow that stuff pretty closely.

They started showing up on the market at the end of the year, not sure about who is making them and if the quality is the same. I hope they dont lower their standards and start putting a bunch of crap on the market. The new Cobra Intakes are made in China, so its hard telling where the A Arms are made.

I got my "A" arms this past tuesday. I ordered them from summit. I have been watching them on summits site for a while now. I have also been keeping an eye the bullit kit aswell. Both of them are on and off backorder.

I decided to go ahead and purchase the "A" arms. I am also gonna replace the upper and lower rear control arms aswell. I priced the lowers from ford at $53 each. They also priced the uppers for like $100. I'll get the for racing for $70 though. Then...........it will be time for the Bullit kit. Yes, shaker i said bullit kit. Hooyahh!!

The Bullitt Set up is a nice mod for your Stang! Dont forget a good par of CC plates when you go to install them!
