Mustang II Lower arm bushing repair

[HPCOBRA]

I am going to replace the lower arm bushings on my Mustang II front end. Do the bushings just press in and out? Also does anybody know where I can get just the lower control arm bushings in urethane? I have brand new upper arms that have the urethane bushings installed. Thanks

i know some one will spank me for this but it is not recommended to replace the bushings in stamped steel arms. this is why ford serviced them only as assemblies. for the headache of taking them off and possibly hurting the lower ball joint in the process, it would behoove you to just buy replacement arms and be done with it. this is of course if you have the stamped arms and not aftermarket already. i have been to this show before with a car with 30 year old suspension that needed bushings.

Here you go!

Sorry about that wrong years. Have you tried searching Pinto?

Your second link is for older mustangs. I've had a replica manufacturer tell me the stamped steel arms are stronger than most aftermarket arms. I replaced my old bushings with urethane 9 years ago. A pain in the a$$ to do! Jim

Yes, I question the strength of the lower A arm upgrade myself.

its not so much the lowers, but the uppers that get the extreme forces. the lowers are reinforced by a strut rod the uppers take the force of the road and the body\spring force combined. i personally feel more comfortable with a tubular a-arm (of the right material) than a stamped steel one.
