front suspension bushing kit?

[03calitejas]

Ok so yesterday I had the car up in the air fixing the lower air dam and found a broken cable for the front right abs sensor. I noticed the driver side upper ball joint is pretty much shot and the sway bar bushings are looking worn too.

Is there a front end rubber bushing/ball joint etc kit that anyone has used- OEM or maybe FRPP? I figure at 138k miles it may be a good idea to get the original stuff replaced now to avoid headaches down the road. Any suggestions are welcome. I don't know how much of it I can do in the garage but I'd like to replace as much of it myself as possible to save on the costs.

Also, will the front end need to be realigned after replacing the ball joints?

Once you break down the front end, tie rods, sway bars/links/bushings, ball joints you will definetly need an alignment afterwards

Yeah I was pretty certain I would....argh

[Got_1]

sway bar links, bushings do not affect vehicle alignment whatsoever

might as well after going to all the work tighening up the front end.... do the alignment.

Dont HAVE to after ball joints....but recommended

Did I miss the origanal quest. of, where could he get replacement bushings?

[Black_Noise]

yes.

unless engery suspension sells some, I would just go to the local FORD dealer

Thats what I was hunting for...to see if there was a kit available that had all of the front end rubber bushings and ball joints...
