[Shotimes] Time Sensitive Simple Suspension Swap

[Bruce Malachuk]

You will need a pair of front strut bearings ($32 a side from ford, can be
had a little cheaper aftermarket), Pair of front strut mounts (police or
otherwise), spring insulators for the bottom of the springs separate front
and rear, rear strut mounts 1 pair.

I know my local ford dealer has a pair of police rear mounts on the floor as
I ordered 2 too many, and as for everything else best to shop around.

What did you plan on using for struts and springs all the way around. I have
used cargo coils on sensatrac struts for one persons car, but the ride hight
was unbearable. We gut out a full coil and it still sat high all the way
around, well higher than my car with koni's and intrax. For the price the
cargo coils and sensatracs are good.

Hey Guys... I need to do all 4 struts on my 95 MTX.
I use the car on a sales route so time is sensitive.
What I had planned was to have 4 completed struts ready to go, when I pull
the old ones. What parts will I need besides the struts and springs.
I'd like to go heavy duty Police or similar. I carry wine in the passenger
compartment only, so the AC can keep it cool. I will be going with cargo
springs in the rear for this reason. As it is now the tail pipes are awfull
low to the ground when the car is empty. Ford must have used some pretty
wimpy springs in Gen II Taurus because you wont see a Nissan Maxima sagging
like that. Thanks.
