G’day all. This is my first post!
I have a gorgeous 2000 Cougar Eibach, and at the moment I’m looking at replacing the Lower Arms (as the bushes are worn). Any recommendations on a good place from where I might be able to source the arms for much cheaper than what my dealer is quoting… or even better, has anyone had any experience with finding anyone to manufacture the bushes? I’ve gone out hunting for after-market bushes and I’ve got a resounding “no” from everywhere! Cheers. Daphne. |

Try the USA or the usafordsp.com, we had some from them & I think another member too they were cheaper here.
Maybe you could be get some Urathane bushes lathed out if desparate. |

I have just replaced mine but now have found out that what has caused the bushings to wear is the fact that the front struts have worn out and that is the REAL problem.I have just ordered some form the USA and will get them fitted next week (will advise the total cost).
You can't replace the bushings you have to replace the whole control arm I got mine from here and they privide a good service at a good price. https://pontiworld.com.au/usafordsp/...6c455ae84d0ee3 When you replace the struts on an Eibach you can't use the standard ones because the car is lowered it puts to much stress on them. You must get adjustable struts. How do I know all this...because I am a happy Eibach owner. Post some pics Daphne so we can check out you ride. |

Can't help you with values but as there are not many around then I can't see the wreck being worth much, however if you wanted to fix it I could help you out with getting the parts from the USA.
