The worn out leaf springs were replaced with springs from Laurel Mountain Mustang. The springs came with the front bushings already install and the rear bushings came from Summit Racing. I sprayed the U-nuts and bushing bolts with PB Blaster the night before. The swap went way too easy with the correct tools like a 2-post lift, transmission jack and impact wrench. Things were going so smoothly I almost forgot to take pictures. The new spring gave it a two inch needed lift.
While out junkyarding with a friend looking for rear disc brakes I came across a '96 Grand Marquis with like new brake parts. The disc brake emergency inner cables were cut to Maverick length and threaded into the Maverick's outer cover. By cutting the head off a socket head bolt and drilling a hole to thread the cable end into the head then soldered the two together to make the ball.
