Rear dif bushing ?

Hi everyone,

I am swapping the rear end in what I hope to become my DD soon with one from a parts cat I picked up that looks like it has been gone thru already. (big glob if rtv around the cover, bearings are tight & seals are dry...and it does have oil in it)

I want to replace the bushings and from what I gather the mustang kit should work. Has anyone used this on a 87/88 bird ?

I'm just trying to get back to stock status so I don't want/need any performance parts.
Is this reasonable price wise or am I overlooking a better deal,etc.

While I am asking does the 79-93 front/rear kit work on a 88 bird? I'll need to deal with the front end also at some point soon.

Thanks thanks for the input.

Thakks Tom. They are oval. I found them a little cheaper at summit & ordered some spring isolators also.
