I thought I had more pictures. Guess not. I bought a replacement watts link off eBay and welded them to the oems. The aftermarket ones where actually thicker. I trimmed (cut off wheel) both sets flush so they would butt together and pressed the new rubber bushings back in place

Sure wish there were some quality aftermarket parts available to address this.

I put my lowers on. Now I am doing something different for the uppers. I all so ordered the watts link. I did feel some improvement with just the lowers.

broke but not dead!
I made several sets of boxed uppers and lowers and also boxed the Watts Links for both Panthers I still drive.
The uppers boxed are a little stoggy and ten years ago the Town Car limo billit uppers were cheap to buy new.
once I realized a better part was available for near the same money, I only boxed the Watts Links and the lowers.
I was not retired then, so I did not want to spend more time and near the same money for stock uppers.
At the time I was making them, members were donating their takeoffs or selling them for cheap.
I have some new stock uppers but they have a green keep ring on the bushings.
If you are interested in them I can get pics.

Here is my new made upper control arms. I know they may look like Zack and Mack's but they are not. I designed them and made them my self. I all so am not making any to sale.

nice work, you must feel a noticable better rear 'sway' in the ride now.
some argue, spend 400 bucks, but you get the satisfaction of building your own.

I spend $200. But got more than I needed. Will be selling new set of lowers. So I will have less in them. And yes it was great to make them myself.
