I am working the rear of my 93 over decided to go ahead and go all out since I am this close anyways. I am looking for good upper control arm spherical bearings on the differential side. All other joints will have them so I want to go ahead and do it here also. I can get them from Summit but they will not ship until 5/27 and I need some good ones sooner. ANY HELP??

Did you check Maximum Motorsports?

Notice that they only recommend using factory rubber as replacements...

Rear Upper Control Arm Bushings, Differential Side
[click for larger image]
$34.95
Part #: E4SZ-5A
Manufacturer: Ford


These upper control arm bushings are good to replace when replacing or upgrading the upper arms. We don't recommend replacing these bushings with urethane, due to the increased bind, and stress to the chassis. We sell a tool to make the replacement of this bushing very easy. If your car is over 5-7 years old, your car is probably due to replace these bushings, especially if you do any track or performance driving. If you haven't yet converted to a torque arm (which eliminates the upper arms entirely), these are the only upper control arm bushings we recommend using.

I run UPR pro series double adjustable upper arms. No problems at all. Sperical on both ends. You have to buy the rear end side sperical bearing seperatly. I got them from www.artsperformanceparts.com I would reinforce the torque boxes!

Agreed!!

Or you could just get new rubber ones as you need to have some give somewhere!!

I have put torque box reinforcements from Rick and also welded up all the seams on the torque boxes. Any other places I can get the spherical bearings?

UPR and wolfe racecraft sell the sperical bearings for the axle end and they also make double adj arms with sperical.
