I dunno, but I just ordered a set from MaximumMotorsports.  I believe they were Prothane brand.

The 1 5/16 set.  I sure hope they work. 

What problems were you having?

How much were they?

The problem I was having was that the bottom of the bushings (the flat part) was too thin,and wouldn't fit snug.

Vinny, the last set I got was from moog and they cost me about $25 or $30 for the pair. I don't know the part number off hand, but I'll get it when I get to the shop, if you want it.        Lopez

I think they were the wrong application.They were way too thin on the flat side of the bushing.I just got my new ones from Energy yesterday for $14.00.Perfect.They are in the floorboard of the Sport waiting for me.

Im going to put mine in this weekend.  Any suggestions on replacing the plastic nut holder that keeps them from spinning, to bolt the sway bar back in?

You should still be able to get them from Ford.

I'm glad the older cars have them in steel instead of that plastic .  Almost any later Fox that came in to the shop had to have those replaced as they would disintegrate when you went to loosen the front sway bar bolts.

I'm not even going to use the nut holdes (mine were plastic and broke of).I just used a wrench on the top and a socket on the bottom and tightened them up.Done.
