I believe that the Cougar control arms are the same as for Mustangs. Mustangs used the same ones from 64 1/2 through 73. There is quite a weight diffrence between a 64 1/2 mustang with a 289 and a 69 Cougar convertible with a 390, C6 and A/C. I am about to replace control arms # 5 and 6. With an unlimited budget the replacements would be tubular control arms from Global West. Since I have a limited budget I will only go that route if I have to.
Did my sometimes exuberant driving style kill my upper control arms or are they just not strong enough for a heavier model of Cougars ?
Any suggestions for best value ?
I possible I am looking at a package deal since the marks in the oil pan from the center link strongly suggest the front coils are shot too. And the rear leafs have on shackles since 1989.
