I'm looking for the part number for the spring cap/upper mount for the front shocks. I'm talking about the metal cap w/3 threaded posts that retains the spring on the shock body.

Look up Motorcraft# AD1059; does that look like the right part?

The studs may appear longer than your OE mount because the factory was having an issue with Towncar spring bow preventing the operator from starting the top nuts. Lengthening the studs allowed the operator to start all 3 nuts even if the mount was crooked.

That's them, figured Ford would be the only place to get them, never even thought about Rock Auto. Thanks a ton.
