    Rod end style still cause binding but if needed to correct pinion angle you don't have much choice.

    If I ever go coilover in the rear ill look at changing the set up perhaps.

    That was the reason for mine as well (too many lows dialed up on the suspension) but the binding is there whether you hear it or not. My (now) massively reinforced torque boxes are a testament to what bind can do.

    Yes because having such stiff arms all with poly bushings will cause binding and could tear and a control arm mount. Better to be safe than sorry and try to get some 99+ GT uppers. They have a stiffer rubber bushing than the 98 and older. But if budget is an issue, some 98 and older will work just fine for now.

    It's only a bad combo because they utilize stiff urethane in all of the bushings.

    The triangulated 4-link rear suspension inherently has bind in it. Ford alleviated this bind by allowing some flexibility in the soft rubber bushings.
    Some good reading here:

    Yes, causes bind. Best to use stock uppers as previously mentioned, however, you can run a three-link or torque arm if you prefer, either eliminates bind.

    ok. I've been reserching more. all makes sense. all tho the guys at dasilva have been/are great. they make a solid argument as to why the upper/lower upr is the way to go. . it's a nice car, I don't to screw up a mount. better to reinforce while here too?
