Bent control arm?/ no parts.
« on: January 04, 2004, 03:26:00 AM »

I recently got an 1991 capri.  Not too special but I've really been liking it.  It iced up here and I caught a curb at about 10mph.  I bent the control arm... (I think thats the name for the A shaped bracket the sway bar and wheel bolts to)  I think I probably bent the sway bar too.  Ofcourse, parts stores and even the dealer don't carry replacement parts so I'm stuck hunting the bone yards.  Am I stuck digging for a capri, what else can fit.  Also, is there a difference between the xr2's a arms.  I know the swaybars are heavier...   I apriciate any help.

i believe control arms are the same with:

1988-1990 Mercury Tracer
1986-1989 Mazda 323
1991-1994 Capri incl. XR2

hope that helps the search a bit

I saw a factory front sway bar on ebay. I'm not sure of the price or how long it will be there though.
