Default New bushings!

So I need to replace the bushings on my stang. I found a complete kit on SummitRacing.com, but my mechanic doesn't know where they're all supposed to go and he doesn't want to spend a bunch of time trying to find them all. So I need to the research before I can get him to install the kit.

I've hit up google and haven't gotten any results. Does anyone know where I can this information? A manual I can buy, a website that has pictures, anything?

It's a 1972 Mustang Grande with a 351ci and an automatic trans.

Any help would be great. I live in NJ, so the roads suck and pot holes are lethal!

How much is the kit you are looking at and what does it include? If you can post a link it would be best, someone might have a suggestion for a better kit.

On top of that the parts listed are listed on the page you posted. They are: Front Control Arm Bushings, Front Sway Bar End Links, Front Strut Rod Bushings, Rear Leaf Spring Bushings, Ball Joint Dust Boots, Tie Rod End Dust Boots. If your mechanic can't figure that out then he ain't much of a mechanic.

there is a list of every bushing in the kit

and wouldnt he be able to tell what goes where when he takes it apart?

a lot of those bushings are probably not even needed for your car, but are included in the kit because it is cheaper to have one kit for a lot of cars than to have a lot of kits for a lot of cars

but i would be skeptical of any mechanic that didnt know where some of those went
