Default rear control arm bushings.

Anyone done these on a 94-98 mustang? I'm about to,I have no idea what kind of control arms I have,they look like mac's.I guess to be more specific with the question,has anyone ever had to replace them not knowing exactly what kind of control arms you had?

Mine are red (could have been painted.) arent stamped and have no decal or anything,have the exact same design as steeda or mac.They could be stock for all I know,And I havent had a chance to measure them yet.

also once I establish which one's they are,anyone wanna install them really cheap?

What kind of bushing do they have? Fyi, it can be a pita to do they if you dont have help. Even still it can be tough, because you have to have the angle just right for the bolts to go in.

2 jacks and it's easy, one for the body of the car and the other for the axle. take the load off the suspension and the only hard part is getting up in there with a wrench. make sure you lube the new ones with the correct grease or you will be replacing them in a year or sooner.
