Stock Taurus struts do work on the SHO.  You should be fine there.  Your
problem is probably being caused by one of the two situations below:

What size tires are you using?  From my experiences 215/60-16,
225/50-16, and 225/55-16 fit fine on slicers with no rubbing.  Using a
tire that is too tall can cause the tire to rub the strut.

It could be because your springs/rear suspension is shot.  This causes
rear camber to increase, resulting in excessive wear on the insides of
the tire.  This is my guess.

I have a 1993 Red MTX.

 

I had my tires rotated last summer, all looked ok. I had to take them
off
this week to look at the rear brakes and found the inside of the tires
(both
sides) are almost completely worn down. 

 

I have noticed that the rear end is sitting lower. It looks as if the
tire
is contacting the strut(?). Could this be possible? I have looked up the
struts at Autozone, but it doesn't say if they are SHO specific, Gabriel
Guardian Strut for Ford Taurus Sedan, part number 801515. Will these
work on
the SHO?

 

I know most of you use the Eibachs or Koni's, how much are those and
where
do you get them?

 

Thanks!
