is the 9inch a bolt in conversion to a mustang? does it use all the factory 8.8 mounting points and control arms?

It does use standard 8.8 control arms and mounting points.

If that's the case than the bushings should be the same as an 8.8.

That's what I was thinking, but I was not sure.

Did you have spherical bushings in your 9" Darrell?

Just shoot me an email and Ill get you my address to send a money order too... figure shipping these things is about $7 as I have to ship USPS... I dont think trink is going to buy them.

thanks bob

if you do paypal, add 3%... so, 78+7 for shipping = $85

Not to hijack the thread here but isn't it illegal to charge a fee based on payment preference? I know when I was running my business I couldn't charge a fee if someone paid with a credit card even though it cost me 3-5%.

I don't think so. I've seen gas stations that advertised a 4% upcharge for accepting credit cards. It's because Visa and Master charge the business 4% for being able to accept their cards. Although, I haven't seen one in a long time.

Just because someone does it doesn't mean its legal. Charging an extra charge for accepting credit cards is illegal. I know this to be fact. Paypal on the other hand I'm not sure of but I would assume is the same.

Apparently, the law was created somewhere in there. Come to think of it, it may very well have been in a different state altogether.
