What exactly are you referring to when you say "shell". Not a term i've heard used before for anything in that area of the car

I think he's talking about bushing casings on the OEM part:



If this is what you meant, they can be found here: https://www.maximummotorsports.com/Control-Arm-Bushings-C99.aspx

Also here although a few more bucks

Although this is a pretty bizarre, unrelated pairing by Ford if you ask me.
