Does anyone know where I can get poly isolators for a 1988 Town Car? I can't find them for Vics at all. I did get a ton of hits for Mustang isolators... does anyone know if those will work? According to Rock Auto, rubber isolators for my Lincoln are 2.13 inch ID x 3.88 inch OD. If someone had a Fox-body isolator kicking around, or something, could they measure it and see if it's close enough to use?

front or rear? Front ones come from ES with the poly kits for 92-97 Vics. I imagine you can get those seperate.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Rear uses isolators? Oh, wait, there are tiny little squished things on one end or the other, aren't there ....
Wouldn't ES entries at Summit have the dimensions listed? Napaonline is sometimes helpful for this sort of cross-referencing too, and occasionally even AutoZone.com has helped me me figure junk out.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

never seen rear poly ones. I've always used regular rubber ones because I could get them anywhere.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

+1 on the pigtail diameter being pretty common. Thus the way mrltd and others have been able to use springs from Speedway with an otherwise stock-ish rear suspension.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

I've got it written down here somewhere, but I think it was 1994 Caprice rear spring isolators where the correct dimensions.
Hop onto the energy suspension site and you'll be able to get the dimensions of them and compare to stock size.

1971-1996 Caprice.
Napa has regular rubber isolators now.
Front: 2749721 $7.41 each. (last time I got them, its a pack of 4 from Ford for something around $15)
Rear: 2749140 $unknown 10 pack. (Store only item, no online pricing, seems napa does that with all bulk parts packs) (Don't remember Fords pricing, or pack quantity (it was either single or two pack. Like my Energy Suspension part number, its in a location that should be easy to find).

You must know something I don't, because I'm not finding anything definite. I spent over an hour on energy suspension's site and the only sizing listings I can find are for the universal parts. I also browsed through their catalog but no measurements are available there. I already know the Town Car measurements but I can't find anything on Fox Mustangs. Perhaps I'm using the wrong search terms on Google, but I still haven't found anything there either.Originally posted by GM_Guy View PostComment
