Dude if that is rust on the bottom of your oil pan, you need to work on that ASAP its very thin metal and you don't want to change the pan!
I told you they were tough...The only hard part is getting the factory bushings out of the links. I put a ton of heat to the link until the factory bushing started to melt then hammered them out with a BFH.
GREG! that WAS you that gave me the advice. I just checked my pms. Well at least someone takes your advice. I did just what you told me. Ordered the parts and got hold of a torch and a BFH. Now it's done. A belated thanks to you. I also noticed the same thing you discovered on the lower shock bolts (worn out) so I'll be replacing them (using the size you gave me) when I redo the shocks.I told you they were tough...
Go back a few threads Drepka, I gave you a clicky to all the parts you need. You can redo the whole sway bar for $35 bucks and a little of your time.my end links are definately needing replaced bought a new one from ford 93 bucks 4 one. do you have to buy that whole set or can you get just what u need to do the sway bar and two end links???? thanks for the help.
First off your very welcome, happy to help, as for the oil pan don't get too aggressive with sand paper or wire wheel to clean it up, put some rust converter on it and coat with paint or undercoating spray. I've not had to repair mine, but picked this info up from another thread.GREG! that WAS you that gave me the advice.
Now how should I deal with the oil pan? Sand paper and Rustoleum?

Good tip:thumb: ThanksJust a quick install note. If you don't have a torch handy, you can use a drill and drill bit to drill holes all the way around the bushing (drill through the rubber), and they'll usually fall right out.
