I woudl also check summit thats where I got all my stuff. I went with Energy Suspension.

Now for bushings you have

Endlinks
Control Arms
Sway bar

But I would suggest If your gonna go throw all that replace the ball joints if they arn't newer. Also depending on what you use to remove your tie rods if you go that far you will need to replace them to.

If you have any questions hit me up i just did all this over the summer I'll help ya out as mych as i can

LCA bushings (4), strut bushings if applicable (no cc plates), spring isoloators, anti sway bushings and end link kit........... what else? Those are the big front bushings I can think of right now.

I will note that the Ford loaded arms (for under 200 bucks) can be a smokin deal if you need ball joints too. Dealing with the poly is a real PITA on the control arms and interferance fit ball joints cant be renewed very often (dare I say more than once) before one has to start worrying.

Figure rough costs: LCA bushings 40 bucks. 2 ball joints = I have no clue - 60 bucks+. Machine shop to do the bushings for you (burning them out SUCKS) = 40 bucks or so. You can see how new loaded arms (new bushings and the redesigned ball joint) can be a great deal.

Good luck.

I wouldn't bother freshening up the front A arms. Since the X2 balljoints are $120 plus the price of the poly upgrade it would be better to buy 03-04 Cobra Arms brand new. Just a thought.

Cobra A Arms:
This kit enables owners of 1994-04 Mustangs to upgrade to 2003 Cobra Mustang control arms. The kit features (2) front lower control arm assemblies with 50% stiffer rear bushings and low friction ball joints. This control arm has a redesigned stamping to improve the turning circle approximately 10% on 1994-98 Mustangs.
