Where'd ya find the control arms bushings? RockAuto doesn't have them for '85 and I don't know where else to look as an international customer...
1985 Mercury Grand Marquis LS, "Maisa"
2008 BMW 530d Touring, "Femma"
I think energy suspension 4.3151G (black) or 4.3151R (red) is the one to use. IIRC, the control arms are the same up to 97 as far as bushing size goes.

Will you settle for the smaller version or must it be the PI?
I run across the smaller ones every so often. None on hand currently (but I let two go to the crusher on the last two boxes that hit the local junkyard).

I picked up the ADTR control arms, and installing the sway at the same time would be perfect.
I'd go for any sway currently as the invisible version I have is not meeting my needs..![]()
