Front Control Arm Urethane Replacement Bushings for stock control arms, 1996-01 GT, Standard, not Hydro-bushing style. Cobra models all came with Hydro-bushings.
Urethane front control arm bushings are full floating and nonbinding. In the front they maintain proper camber and caster alignment and give quicker turn-in response. These are a great upgrade for tired, soft, and worn out original rubber bushings that may never have been replaced! These bushings are installed into the factory bushing "shells" in your OEM control arms, after all the rubber has been removed. Don't remove the bushing shells when installing these bushings.
These bushings fit STANDARD shells, NOT the Hydro-bushing models discussed below. The shell inside the control arm is different, and requires a different bushing. (Use 6-217-BL for Hydro-bushing arms)
IMPORTANT NOTE--You must check your bushings to determine if they are standard bushings or Hydro-bushings. To determine the type of bushings in your front control arms, use a screwdriver to pry on the metal flange of the rearward bushing of the front control arm. If the metal flange is rigid and is one piece with the pressed-in metal shell, you have standard bushings. If the metal flange is movable and independent from the pressed-in metal shell, you have hydro-bushings.
