    Yeah I cross referenced the numbers, I went with the 91 CV. Same as a Grand mar and Towny

    I think the diff between Raybestos and ACdelco is that I think the ACdelco come with greasable ball joints

    Lowers are interchangeable 79-02, however the ball joints changed in mid 94 IIRC, so unless your swapping knuckles/doing the big brake swap just buy the earlier ones.

    As far as I know all lower control arms are the same 80-02 on CV, GM and TC
    I've always gotten mine at either Advance, Auto Zone or O'Reilly.
    They come with bushings installed and that makes things a lot easier.
    Auto Zone part number is 520-207 drivers side and 520-208 pass side. $165.99 each.
    And with some shopping around you may find them cheaper than that.

    Wait, am I hearing this right, I can get control arms from a 95 vic to go on a town car.

    I think i read about this here, that a 90's Pnather control arm can work on a box. Can i please get some validation on this

    They have them for the newer vics, trying looking under a 1995 crown vic, they are there. They even have motorcraft, but at around $190
