1988 Thunderbird from Sweden Reply #227 – August 04, 2015, 02:28:55 AM Well, I haven't posted here in a long time.I've been working in South Korea since beginning November last year. I've been really busy with work, had to stay 6 months straight in Korea, then go home for 2 weeks and then back again.In the midst of all chaotic work here in Korea, I managed to get a girlfriend back in Sweden (kinda funny when written like that).Last time I was in Sweden (3 weeks in June-July) I did get some work done on the car. But now another interest is taking most of my time (collecting watches). And the fact that I'm working abroad 300+ days/year.But hey! Something did get done in the 3 weeks home in Sweden! So what did I do?Well, after all the burnouts on last years Power Big Meet I had a clunk in the rear end. I was so sure it was bushings I didn't even care to look at it.And why just change bushings on control arms thin as maple leafs?So I bought these.CHE UppersMaximum Motorsports lowers (Thunderbird length)So I brought the car out of the storage and got to work on it!Told my dad that I would do this shiznit in the driveway, no need to occupy the garage for this simple job!So what was the clunking? Very surprised I found this...Well, f*ck it. I already bought all the parts! No way I'm turning back!While I was at it I also bought Maximum Motorsports adjustable sway bar (for Fox Mustang)Ofcourse it wasn't going to fit. So cutting on the brackets and instead of bolting them on, I hired my father to weld it for me. Rock solid! Mounted them +-0.5mm difference between drivers side and passenger side. As perfect as I could get it.After this picture they were fully seam welded in place.Fully welded and paintedCHE uppers in placeHad to put new tires onAll in place!Back on the ground. Ride height is definetly higher in the rear with these control arms.I would suggest a lowering spring and use the adjustment on the control arms to get desired ride height. I will get lowering springs and put them on same time as the coil overs go on the front (when ever that's going to happen....Interior as of now.Together with my dads '03 Cobra.And that's it! Wait for more pictures next year when I can work on her again! that's depressing to write... Quote Selected
