These bushings split and mushroomed within months of use. Have full new suspension professionally installed by 34 year reputable shop so no other issue caused their failure. They were just poor quality.

I've read reviews elsewhere saying to buy the Ford OEM parts for this. Being that I have such a high opinion of Moog, I gave these a try and so far so good. They are heavy and seem like they were built to last. American made too.

You don't tighten these to the factory torque settings, or they'll break apart pretty quickly. I had to call Moog tech support to ask how to put them in, which wouldn't be necessary if they'd include an instruction sheet. They are different enough from the factory bushings that this should be obvious. Anyway, tighten the nut until everything touches, then turn another 2-3 complete turns. Bushings should be about centered with equal threads visible on either side. You'll still need to get it aligned, so make sure to inform the tech.

Hard to go wrong with Moog parts, especially when you buy with Prime and get free 2 day shipping. Kit was complete and really tightened up the front end of my Thunderbird.

All mechanics know that Moog is pretty much the best chassis brand out there. I've been using their products for many years. 1989-1997 Thunderbirds and Cougars are known to have strut-rod bushing issues. Using these PLASTIC bushings is NOT the way to fix the problem! I meticulously installed these on my 1993 LX show-car. Even harvested the metal cup-washers from the original rubber front bushings, in order to give these plastic ones a true, flat surface to mount against (hole has a rolled lip). After installing, first thing I noticed was excessive, harsh steering-column vibrations. 800 miles later the driver's side, rear bushing actually cracked and FELL OUT while I was driving!! Luckily I was only 3 miles from home, and was able to limp the car back. I'd like to sue MOOG for producing such a inferior product! I should have heeded the warnings posted all over the internet about these, especially from "TCCOA.com" which is a must-visit site for any owner of these cars! The ONLY fix for the stock ford bushings, is OEM Ford parts, which are still available seperately. You must re-use the original "crush-sleeve", as it is discontinued now. After fitting new Ford rubber parts on both ends of the strut-rods, that smooth, cushioned feeling was restored. Double rubber-insulated strut-rods were a selling point on this model when new, by the way.
