RE: disassembling fox
I am fairly sure you will need to remove your rear quarter pannels, and the trim that is inter laced with them... Some of the upper trim around the doors, winsheld, and the big pice that captures the rear of the head liner are all snap in with mettal clips, but be sure to double check for any screw's.....
As far as bushings go, I used Energy Suspension on my capri, and they seam to be holding up fine.... and I don't belive they are too expensive either..... http://www.energysuspension.com/
Hope that helps some.....

RE: disassembling fox
To take off your quater trim. You need to remove your interior quarter panels (i also took out my back seats... it just made it easier) and than once you remove them there are nuts holding the trim in. Im not positive but I think there was 10 or so on each side. Very simple to remove. Take the nuts out and remove the window. There is some kind of sealant holding the trim onto the quarter of the car. I just took a knife to it and pulled it off. Not hard at all. Just kind of time consuming.

RE: disassembling fox
you should upgrade all your bushings to poly bushings most aftermarket parts you will get will have them. this will help some with the squeaking but to stop the sqeaking you need to sniffen the body with subframe connector, strut tower brace, and lower control arms.

RE: disassembling fox
If you can post a link to the kit that you found it would be a help.........
As for not finding anything on E/S try this link.......Mustang's Just write down the part numbers you need, then call up auto zone or a local speed shop and see if they can order the stuff for you....
Also you might want to read this artical......Fix that suspension!
