    There's a phone # there at the top. Ask them so that you get a straight answer. Ask for the persons name so if it turns out it doesn't work you have a name.

    Since the mustang has a wider track, I doubt it will work.

    Looking in the Master Parts Catalog the '73 Mustang tie rods use the same part number on a 70-74 Maverick but the 75-77 Maverick has a different part number. The Mustang idler and adjusting sleeve has a different part number than a Maverick.

    Hey John T this should work on your car. it saves money and ive found the early mavs center link on ebay for only about 60 bucks, so its a pretty good deal i just wish they had kits for mavs like they do the stangs :slap: anyone know of any where else i could get good prices? ive checked the local auto parts store and those things are like 50 bucks a piece!

    wish i revisited this post earlier just placed a massive order at parts train.. theyre loving me right now 742 bucks for pretty much the whole front end. but everything i bought is moog except for the upper control arms doesnt seem like Moog makes uppers so i got the dorman ones i found them cheaper on JCwhitney 106.99 each.
