Well after getting new drag radials and a nnew clutch its come to my attention that the control arm bushings are pretty much shot. So instead of dropping 70 bucks on the energy suspension bushings I've been finding deals local on upper and lower control arms with poly bushings all over the place. So wwhat I need to know is will the fox body upper and lower control arms work on our sn95 platform?

You kind of have to assume it's the rear since the front doesn't have uppers... Upper and lower arms were the same for 89-98. I would suggest nothing stiffer than stock in the upper arms because it will cause bind.

MM's site said:
We performed extensive testing of rear upper control arm bushing materials during the development of our Panhard Bar. When retaining the original four-link suspension, the best compromise between resistance to suspension bind, best control of axle position, best ride quality, and least potential damage to the chassis, is to retain rubber bushings in the rear upper control arms. This is especially important when adding a Panhard Bar. The compliance of a rubber-bushed upper control arm is required when a Panhard bar is added to the Mustang four-link suspension.
