Default Poly bushes f, sierra GT

Hi I´m searching for some polyurethan bushes for my `93 Sierra GT, and my question is, would a set from a saff cosworth fit my car, It is with drum brakes in the rear. The only one I´m pretty sure wont fit is the antiroll bar, which is probably thicker on a cossie right?.
I hope U can help me, cause I can`t seem to get any cualified answer anywhere else.

93 GT, thats the twin cam 8v right? If so the compliance bushes in the TCA's are the same as the ones used on the 2wd cosworth. The inner pivot bushes are the same as those used on the ford fiesta mk 1/2 and escort mk3.

Not sure about any others though. I know Demon Tweeks can supply them all.

Hope that helps

Yeah it`s the twin cam (WILL get a cossie, but they ar very exspensive in DK cos of insane car tax, bout 10-12000 Ł)

Okay so the inner and outer tca`s will fit, I`m not sure what the pivot bush is?

Oh and the tca`s, is that both front and rear?

Just the front TCA's i'm on about. Not sure about the set up on the rear lower arm.

Right, describing the tca arm. There are three parts, the bit that fits into the hub, the ball joint, then you have the middle part where the compliance bush is, where the anti-roll bar fits and then you have the final part that fits in to the engine cross-member, the is the inner pivot of the TCA, and hence the inner pivot bush fits here.

If that doesn't help i'll try and get a pic up later for ya.

Right, after going thru the items at Powerflex, I can see that there r 4 bushes that wont fit, and they r ( actually asuming anyone cares ) as Ziggy said the inner front tca`s, who will fit from an Escort MK 3-4 or Fiesta, and the anti roll bar, which is 28mm on a cossie, but only 26mm on a GT, but besides that everything else fits from both 2-4wd.
I have found a page called Deflex.co.uk, and their bushes r much cheaper then Powerflex, but r they any good, anyone have experience with Deflex bushes?
Oh and by the way tanx for quick reply m8`s

Never heard of Deflex so can't comment. Powerflex have always been rated very highly and they produce a quality item that, in my opinion, is worth the extra cost, hence the reason why i'm now using them on my cossie.

Glad to be of service
