Need parts list for strut/spring upgrade

[Mike Stitzer]

What all do I need in addition to the Tokico's and EIbach's to swap out my old springs and struts on a 95 MTX?

What parts wear, part names, numbers, prices would be greatly appreciated. I want to get it all before I start the job in a few weeks. Can I reuses any parts?

Check out SHONUTPERFORMANCE, he has many parts listed. He also has a writeup on the strut mount options.

How old is your car? May want to change bushings and control arms.

i asked jost texiera a few weeks ago the same question and this is what he emailed me with. this is word for word out of my e mail. here ya go.

"Theoretically, you can replace only the springs and struts, but there are lots of other parts that people replace, either because Ford recommends that they only be used once (the suspension fasteners), or because they are often worn out, or can only be replaced when the struts are apart. The latter are the mounts and bearings.

Front:
V6 Lower Control Arm/Ball Joint, right F4DZ-3078-B
V6 Lower Control Arm/Ball Joint, left F4DZ-3079-B


If you replace the ball joints, then people often replace:

V6 Lower Control Arm/Knuckle Pinch bolts (2) N804-021-S60
V6 Lower Control Arm/Knuckle Pinch bolt nuts (2) N803-985-S160
V6 Lower Control Arm Pivot Bolts (2) N803-990-S160
V6 Lower Control Arm Pivot Bolt Nuts (2) N805-480-S160

Continuing on with strut parts ..

V6 Front Strut install kit (1 each of strut nut, upper and lower cupped washer, strut pinch bolt) AD-263 (2) E8DZ-18198-AA

(Check first for what is included with your struts - some struts include these parts)

Strut mounts and bearings, see:

For more info ...

If you want new nuts on the top of the strut tower (if you don't have the caps)

V6 Strut Tower Nut (6) N803-826-S36

Continuing on:

V6 Front (HD plastic) Swaybar End Link kits with nuts (2) SNP-FELK

For the rear:

V6 Rear Strut Washers (4) N804-232-S100

V6 Rear Strut install kit (1 each of strut nut and strut pinch bolt) AD-940 (2) E6DZ-18198-BA

Again, check if the install kits come with the strut..

V6 89-10/92 SHO/11/92-95 Police Rear Upper Strut Mount (2) F3DZ-18192-B

That's pretty much it.

remeber soem of those are optional. i am only replacing my rear strut mounts when i put my eibachs and kyb gr2's in. i need new springs/struts becasue mine are shot and rattle liek a ****. this setup is cheaper than going back to stock and sicne i need them i might as well.
