1G Rear suspension rebuild

[CleCor]

Getting back in the DSM game after 10 years. Rebuilding my 90 Talon TSi and started with doing the entire rear suspension. All new Energy Suspension bushings and Volk upper control arms.

I am in need of lower control arm ball joints and is the rear cap of the diff have a gasket or just make a gasket kind of deal?

Are front and rear ball joints the same?

That's what's been reported but since I haven't changed the rears I can only repeat hearsay.

The diff cover uses RTV to seal it.

CleCor,

If I remember correctly from when I rebuilt mine 2 years ago, yes, they are all the same.

Did this last year using the same Moog ball joints front and back.

What exactly are you looking for, it seems like you have the rear diff?

 

[CleCor]

Looking for the left and right mounting bolts, looks like the bolt goes right above lower control arm

They go through the same bracket that the lower control arm attaches to. It's hard to tell from CAPS/ASA but I think the two are MB515263 12mmx20mm same thread at the top ones. I suspect they are discontinued so either a breaker or generic bolt at this point.

Thank you, so they are the same as the mustache bar bolts?

Same thread different length. I think the mustache bar bolts are MB515260 12mmx28mm.
