Susp. Bushes

Hey guys, last step before the new 19s go on is the front susp bushes, just installed the new slotted/drilled rotors this week and have had the front guards rollled. I'm off to re do the bushes on the front. What i have so far is the the D shaped bushes off the sway bar (x2), the sway bar pin bushes (x8), the upper control arm bushes (x4) and two lower control arm bushes (x2) and my all ball joints (x4 for upper and Lower) so a total of 18.... am i missing anything else for the front susp bits???

I'm doing all in rubber because ill lose most of the ride from the 19s anyway so dont want to make it worse by put nolathanes all round, no real use i think the barge isnt really made to go around corners.

Cheers guys.
Alex

P.S. im holding off photos of the interior and exterior till she's done....

think you might have it all, cant think of anything else of the top of my head except for the rubber bush at the top of the strut tower but doubt that will need replacing anyway

You should have 4 lower control arm bushes not 2. Should be a total of 24 items.

I recently changed my ball joints and upper inner bushes and also changed the brackets that go on the top control arms. I used brackets from a BA XR6-8 as they have longer bolts and also have a standard thicker spacer, the cost $115.00 from your friendly Ford dealer.

Forgive my BAD counting, It should be 22. Must have been on drugs at the time :(
