    Well my suspention topic is nowhere to be seen but you mentioned sherical bearings for the upper control arm on one end but not the other...

    so does it matter which end?

    It is better to have rubber bushings at the body end to help prevent binding of the suspension.

    sorry, guess I missed this thread earlier.
    Anyone that takes the effort to put a sherical bearing in only one end will put it in the correct end. Check www.maximummotorsports.com They pretty much set the standard for mustang suspension parts. I was looking at the Pro3i (stangnet) lower control arms and they looked to be well designed with the correct bushings.
    On the rear suspension, don't touch the upper control arms. Anything other than stock bushings will bind easier, which causes a snap oversteer problem, which will put you in a field ;) Anyone selling upper control arms probably made the for drag racing, where they actually want suspension bind :crazy:
    In my opinion, get the adjustable lower control arms. That will allow you to easily step up to a panhard bar, which you could eventually use to upgrade to a torque arm.
