I wouldn't do them all . Fine on the inner A arm bushes but the strut bar really needs some rubber to allow 'compliance' ( posh word for conflicting arcs of travel that need give to make them work). Without compliance something will break ,just a question of when. Like on a Cortina rear I'll urethane everything EXCEPT the 2 bushes next to the diff where I use heavy duty rubber estate bushes.

Are you adding any extra bracing higher up? Cortina's had the chassis rails kicked up and they bolted higher up on the subframe than yours is, it has been known for the subframe to start to bend inwards if its mounted to the chassis lower down as yours appears to be.

Cha7z,
i'd use standard Cortina bits as they are still available, Past Parts in Bury St Eds do lots. I might have some track rod ends you can have. Also, have a look in Fast Ford Magazine etc for parts.

Thankyou for that! By the sound of it, extra bracing will be the order of the day!!
