need some help

Hey guys I am having trouble finding some post I had seen a couple months ago. I remeber there being two different threads and in those some members posted a few things that were good to go ahead and replace when you change out your struts and springs. Well i'm about to this and would like to know some things that would be good to go ahead and change out. I think one of the post even had the ford part numbers as well. I have searched and searched and can not find these two threads please help. Or if anything just list some things that would be good to replace if you know some off the top of your head.

Re: need some help

Upper strut mounts on both the front and rear (and the strut bearings on the front), endlinks on the front and rear, rear sway bar bushings.

Re: need some help

The only thing aftermarket would be the sway bar bushings. And those look to be the only kind you can order thru autozone. You might as well get the front sway bar bushes too.

Re: need some help

I thought all that needed to lower a 01-02 Cougar you only need the rear upper strut mounts and springs seats. So you needed the front as well?
