escort4x4 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 if there pattern parts your using, then they will wear very fast, pattern parts are as good as useless, genuine is expensive but they have been tested and proven for the vehicle, so id stick with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes had same problem ford design fault on suspension fit powerflex nylon uprated bushers and if the cars lowered modifiy the bottom arms by moving the ball joints in 10mm you have to grind the rivets out re drill the holes and cut the end of the arm to fit the ball joint bring the camber back to near orignal position if lowerd about 40mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
