Default Ford Escort mk4 front track control arms

What is the average price on a set of genuine of Ford Escort mk4 front track control arms in kit form with all the bushings included? I see some on ebay but seem very expensive for FAI and QH type. Are these still available from ford?

you would be better off buying a set of adjustable ones from the likes of compbrake as the size of the balljoint changes when using copy parts. The compbrake ones use the same size as genuine ones.

If you want to be really trick fit a set of these. Special bearing and rose jointed.

Just for the record, the mk4 uses a rose joint on the inner anyway, but agreed these are the best option for a car seeing some track and not too tight a budget.

Other adjustable tca's won't have the bearing on the outer end. So when they fail you either throw them and buy another pair or mod them to be changable like the billet ones custom made above.

What ever you do don't order them from Compbrake I had a nightmare dealing with them a few months ago when they sent me the wrongs one's and not refunding me the postage costs and the extra money that had cost me at the garage due to there error. Never again I would look else where mate.
