So I was installing my Lakewood 70/30 struts this afternoon. Everything was going ok. HAd trouble with one of the piston rod nut but I expected that. So passenger side is done. I'm starting the driver side, unloose all the needed bolts and I'm at the removal of the stock strut. Like I did earlier, I remove it and put it on the floor. I'm just starting to transfer the parts from the stock strut to my new Lakewood and WTF ? I'm missing some FU**** parts on the factory shock ! Can you beleive that there was actually a FU**** moron that took it apart and lost 2 parts or was too stupid to remember where they were going or was too lazy to take the strut back out after he realized he had forgotten some parts ? OMFG I'd like to have a few rounds with that C***. This simple install now turns out into a chitload of troubles. My beater is broken so I cant use it. Now tomorrow, I'll be calling Ford so I can buy those parts. With my luck, none of this chit will be in stock. The car is missing the compression bumper, the sleeve and the upper bushing is damaged because there was no sleeve there. No wonder the car has always been "UNSTRAIGHT" to my eyes..It always leaned on one side more than the other... Look at this pic and check the parts I'm missing.

Mario so you have the stock caster/Camber plates ?

If yes I think I have all the bushing you need , looking at the diagram you posted , when I replaced my plates all these bushings were removed and if I'm not mistaking I have all of them so if you need them call me @ 519-319-0061 or email me @ martin.potvin@kimpex.com don't PM me cause at work I don't have access to my hotmail account and I barely never go on stangnet.

I'll send them to you Puro no charge and they will be there tomorrow( Friday )

Merci beaucoup Martin pour ton aide. C'est vraiment gentil. Je vais essayer de trouver un compression bumper dans une shop à suspension.

Well thanks to Martin (Mpcv2000) that sent me some of his stock parts, I was able to finish the install of my Lakewood struts. I'm really happy now. Just need to tprque the wheels and I'll be able to test it.

Also, the beater got fixed today. I changed the waterpump. It was really finished. So today at 12h30pm, none of my cars were usable and now, a couple hours later, they both are driveable.
