Just wanted to know if the upper control arms from a 88' T-bird are the same as an 88' stang. My girlfriends car has a bad upper control arm that broke apart where the bushing goes into and i have a coupe for parts and was going to swap it out.
Are they the same? Just wanted to know before i jacked up both cars and did all this work, to find out it won't.
Thanks!!!

Nope, thunderbird control arms are longer, so you won't be able to use them. (At least, that's what I've been told so far)
