For the record, it's 89-97 on the coils that work. prior to 89 the coils were seperate from the struts. I know this because I am a huge 83-88 t-bird fan and own an 88 Turbocoupe

So I just got done doing the lift today, turned out awesome, netted about 4 1/2 in all around. But took it for a spin and hit a bump doing about forty abd "bam" death wobble to end all death wobbles. Guess its alignment time and go from there

I had that also. You need to do an alignment and get a new trac bar with a new bushing..You can redrill it, I did the first time but I do not recommend it. I wish I hadnt done it now.

And shocks. Do those things and will be good to go promise! lol

Because its a huge weak point in the system, at 4.5" there is not much holding that bar in

Yea I got my alignment done, def helped a lot, dw still is hiding in there though. Just have to take it easy till I can get me a new adjustable track bar. That should be in a few weeks but luckily ill be driving my wifes car next week so I won't be putting much more wear on the system. But then ill be getting my new tires and a few other goodies. Then I can start my build thread
