Good point. My '89 was tight as a drum after 10 years. The way to a tight
suspension is to replace all tie rods ends, bushings, links, etc on 10+
year-old cars. There is nothing that makes the SHO tighter in suspension
components than new parts.
Frankly, if you like the '89, just go through the whole suspension and
replace ALL the wear parts, and you will get what you want.......along with
some better struts, Intrax or Eibach springs, some long subframe connectors,
and aluminum subframe bushings.

Looking back-is damn supposed to be good or bad or does it have different
meanings throughout this post?
Also-why replace one modified suspensioned SHO with another? I don't think
you'll find any difference..It comes with the territory; it is a Taurus
after all.
