Rear Outer Control Arm Bushing Pulled Out - Options?

[SHOlemon]

Our race team (Lemons) is changing out the suspension. The rear left outer forward (did i say that right?) bushing (control arm to knuckle) loved the bolt so much, it stayed with it upon removal.

Anyone know if the bushing has a part number / is able to be purchased? If not, what are our options, apart from buying the rear CA set on Shosource or finding a junk yard replacement?

I swear I had these on a shelf 20yrs ago (maybe for fronts?). Shoot Chad, Irish Pride, a message and see if he can cross ref this part. You should be able to find some used stamped arms for cheap if needed.

Also, we used to use adjustable GTP arms with reducing sleeves in the bushings to use stock size bolts. Shonut used to sell the reducing sleeves.

You can look for old oem part numbers at shonut. Not sure why these links won't take you to the exact suspension pages but you can hit the links at the top to get there. Good reference site.

Thanks! I'll check that out. Someone told us that a lot of the suspension is the same thru 07, is this true? Would rear control arms thru 07 work?

That is interesting. I never crossed over that far in model years. The TCCA- taurus car club of america- website probably has that info. https://www.taurusclub.com/

According to the Ford parts catalog the bushings were not serviceable separately. They only came as part of the rear arms. I would look in a junkyard or possibly get one from SHOSource.

If you only need 1 arm I see them E9DZ5500A for $130 and E6DZ-5500-D for about $100 on ebay. So you have to see if you need rear suspension arm-- front or rear designation. I know that sounds confusing and redundant but that is how I see them listed. Both are rear arms, then one is considered either front or rear.

I have a low mileage set off a southern car if needed.
