SVPU
Griggs~ #TFK 1000 L

Additional information:
SVPU - Although designed for the Mark VII, they will also work perfectly on any 1983-88 Thunderbird. They have 4 different attaching points(3 for the Thunderbird) and completely connect the front and rear subframes.

Front Control Arms
SVPU

Additional information:
GTC Marks had conical shaped lower FRONT spring perches (not square like an LSC) up front to increase spring rate as body roll increased.

Rear Control Arms
Lower / HPM
Lower / SVPU
Upper/ Griggs Racing
Adjustable Upper @ SVPU
Custom Adjustable Upper / METCO Motorsports Solutions / (864) 332-5929 (found in the FvC archives, from 2002.)
All you have to do is measure your stock control arms from bolt center to bolt center, and he will build them to that specification.

Note: For RUBBER RUCA bushings, you must take off arms from a Mustang or new arms from Ford, which will have the stiffer rubber from Special Service Mustangs and have them installed in your arms. So far, only poly is available in the aftermarket.

Additional information:
Lincoln lower control arms are 3/8" longer than 79-04 Mustang arms, they interchange with no problems when going to coils. The uppers are longer on the Lincoln and won't work off any year Mustang.
The upper arms are 1" longer than Mustang. Which can be extended to fit the Mark.

Energy Suspension Motor and Trans Mount Kit~ #4-1124
When ordering from Summit add "ENS-" as the prefix and "G" or "R" as the suffix for black or red bushings

Panhard Bar
Kenny Brown Performance
Maximum Motorsports Panhard Bar~ #MMPBA (add "2" for Polished Aluminum)

Additional information:
Maximum Motorsports claims a Dynomax exhaust fit with their panhard bar in a 2.5" or 2.25"...although the information you read is for a Mustang, they don’t make one specific to the Mark and there are some differences between the two. First, the Mustangs have coil spring - we have air springs (we require more clearance there). The biggest difference is the gas tank. The Mark VII has a 22 gallon tank and the Mustang has a 15 ½ gallon tank, the size of Mark’s puts it much closer to the axle causing the clearance problem.
The only problem BigDon found is:
"I can’t run the exhaust out the back, the passenger side has a clearance problem with the cross bracing and the gas tank the guy at the muffler shop said maybe he could fit 2” pipe over the axle on that side."

Sway Bars: Stock, Upgrades, & Aftermarket

Front:
Stock: 0.958" Diameter
Stock LSC: 1.125"
Addco# 504G - 1.250"
'87-'88 Thunderbird TurboCoupe: 1.310"
'87-'88 Cougar XR-7 Front sway: 1.310"

Rear:
Stock: 0.630"
Stock LSC: 0.669"
'87-'88 Thunderbird TurboCoupe: 0.787"
Addco Bar: 0.870" #415U

Additional information:
Note: I received the correct sway bar frame bushings and end link grommets with washers in my package. Inside the package was a note listing the hardware that accompanies the bar with a stamp stating: "Revision Jun 23, 2003" Addco has finally changed the supplied hardware to the correct bushings and grommets!

I suggest you also replace the rear end links bolts, sleeves, and nuts, but use the end link grommets that come in the Addco package. When ordering the rear end links, make sure you order the heavy-duty option, as the non heavy-duty end links ended up being too short. The correct rear end link sleeves measured 5-3/4".

One other tip: if the bolts that hold the sway bar brackets up are rusty and nasty looking like mine were, I suggest you replace them with new ones. I went down to the local hardware store and picked up 4 grade 8 bolts (size 3/8"x1-1/2") with appropriate (8)washers and (4) nuts (also grade 8). Made life much easier to screw those new bolts/nuts together, rather than trying to reuse those nasty, rusty, originals.

Vehicle Interchange
Front LCA Bushings - 87-88 Thunderbird
Rear LCA Bushings - 89-93 Mustang w/oval front bushings
Front Sway Bar - 87-88 TC/ 87-88 XR-7
McPherson Strut Tower Set - 83-01 Mustang
Motor Mounts: Same as Convertible Mustang
SVO/'82-'83 Front, lower control arms fit, but will need new spring seats if the air suspension is kept. They are tubular and therefore lighter than their stamped steel counter parts. They may also be stiffer.
