For your 2000 Grand Marquis, Get the best parts from ROCKAUTO.COM. -- Best prices; best selection. Part numbers: Front, Upper -- MOOG # K8678 Front, Lower -- MOOG #K8685 1995 Grand Marquis Restoration - Mercury Forum - Mercury Enthusiasts Forums https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mer...d8bb92bac3.jpg 95 MERC Engine Bay |
Thank you. How long does it take to do the upper and lower ball joints? It's been awhile but I've done one before.i can't remember tho if it gave me alot of problems or not.i got all the tools

Brake job too now
I appreciate the help I went to rock auto I got the ball joints and now I decided to do the front brakes on it . I wanna do the pads and rotors. I was gonna do the whole caliper brake kit but there out what kind of pads and rotors should I order from there. There's so much to choose from. And my car is a regular daily driver no upgrades that I know of. I want to get good parts that last so if any experience with theese parts will help decide ty.

Front Brakes
I don't remember how long it took to change the Ball Joints -- I replaced the entire front suspension, and it took a while. ;>;)
Regarding the Front Brakes -- The high-performance brake parts I used on the famous 95 MERC are no longer available. For your Daily Driver, avoid the "Economy" choices -- and avoid the CENTRIC brand -- a Centric Brake Hose FAILED -- SCARY !! I suggest using MOTORCRAFT Brake Pads (if you can find them) -- Best chance is RockAuto or E-bay. Good luck !! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mer...28e3fc9345.jpg Right Front Brakes - ACDelco Drilled & Slotted Rotors; Eclipse Calipers; Police Pads; ESI-6 Brake Fluid; Raybestos Hoses. |
