Re: Bushings Springs and other..stuff... Reply #16 – June 16, 2005, 10:25:31 AM QuoteEric whats your opinion on Gabrail struts and shocks?A lot of people have reported decent things about them. Back when our cars were new, though, Gabriels wore out really, really fast. They are inexpensive for a reason. Fortunately it seems that their quality has improved over the years. It just boils down to a matter of trust, and for me personally, I trust Monroes more. I've just had better luck with them. But I will say that my '88 dark Blue Max 5.0 has Gabriels in all 4 corners (bought the car that way) and they seem just fine. Quote Selected

Re: Bushings Springs and other..stuff... Reply #18 – September 03, 2005, 03:59:58 AM Autozone had the stock springs for my Cougar when I was looking to replace them, and the part # was the same for the TC. I don't recall the cost though.http://www.autozone.comDave Quote Selected
Re: Bushings Springs and other..stuff... Reply #19 – September 04, 2005, 11:41:44 AM Hey I bought the whole car system from Energy suspension. I put it in along with some new springs struts,shooks,axel dampners. I love them feel that I've got now. Yes I can feel every little thing in the road. But she can carve a corner. I bet I could scare the shiznit out of you in my bird down here in these hills and corners. I used factory replacmentMOOG springs, ball jounits, inner and outer tie rods. Also monroe matic plus shocks, strurts, axle dampners. So I can say these bushings are the shiznit. Even afater a year on the road all of my bushings look brand new Even my sway bar end links. So it is up to you but I love my bushing , sping , shooks setup. I will add that this is all on my 84 T-bird Turbo coupe. If you want to carve a corner and have great grip and feel this is what you need. Beside the energy suspension stuff has a 25yr warantyPS that factory spirngs will put the nose in the air a little but here shortly I plan on cutting the fronts and rears to lower it about a 1" and just enough on the front to give it a little rake.

Re: Bushings Springs and other..stuff... Reply #20 – September 04, 2005, 12:28:55 PM Thanks guys. I'm trying to get a parts list lined out so I can get the broken ball joint, worn springs, and motor mounts fixed here in the next week or two, plus do some other inexpensive upgrades to the suspension.
