: : :
Center link I got from PST, only source
shocks I did get from Auto Krafters, they were the cheapest
tierod ends,(inner and outers) from J C Whitney
lower control arms, upper ball joints, sturts bushings upper bushings, sway bar bushings/end links, lower spring mounts and spring insulaters from Mustang Plus, Stockton,Ca.
idler arm, didn't need replacing, that I can find for you if you want, not normally worn out.
A Maverick is just a Mustang with a few different parts, it's a matter of having the books to match up the parts.
and you might as well check the rubber disc on your steering shaft to make sure it still good, or replace it.


Auto Krafters is to Expensive on front end parts.
: : replace both inner and outer tie rod ends,
: : upper control arm bushings,
: : front shocks,
: : Centerlink,
: : sway bar bushings,
: : strut rod bushings,
: : just replace the whole lower control arm, it's easier and quicker.
: : front brake hoses,
: : front rubber stops,

: : and use the coil spring compressor type that goes "inside" the spring.
: : probably need new lower spring mounts to. Just replaced all these parts on my 72 Grabber. Auto Krafters is much more $$$$ then other sources I found. And PST costs more also.
: : any questions give me a yell, also need to know month/year built, manual/power steering.


: : I have a 1970 Maverick 170 CID. I need to rebuild my suspension. It's getting to the point of being dangerous. PLEASE help me identify all the parts I would need to complete a rebuild.This is what I have so far as far what is offered on the internet.

: : : Upper ball joint - 4 bolt
: : : Control arm bushing - Lower
: : : Idler arm bushing
: : : sway bar link kit
: : : coil spring isolaters

: : : I know there is stuff I'm missing here. I just am not sure what there called. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my only car and it's getting very scary to drive. Riding the bus sucks. ;o|
