After attending the SHO convention with my Dad and having a great time, I 
decided we needed to do the brake upgrade on our '92.  Supposedly got '95 
Continental knuckles but the control arm ball joint is built into the knuckle, 
whereas the '92 knuckle has a hole for the cntl arm ball joint pin, the ball 
joint being mounted in the control arm.  The number on the left knuckle is RF 
F5OC-3K171-EC.  Is that the correct knuckle?  The Josh Teixeira post on 
deciphering Ford numbers says the number on the part isn't necessarily the 
same as the P/N, so I called the Ford dealer and was given a P/N of F7O7-3K185-
AA.  Makes no sense to me.

Made a call to Don Mallinson (thanks Don!) who made a valiant effort to help, 
but I am still stuck.

Any advice at all will be sincerely appreciated.  I can send pic's if that 
helps.  I have to put this thing back together by Monday so I can return to 
school.

Thanks!
