    Most Mustang suspension parts fit Mavericks, like upper & lower control arms, ball joints, spring bushings & perches. Do a quick search and you'll find all the info you need, same with the wheels, it's been done before.

    You'll be better off buying a kit that includes NEW upper and lower control arms, these cost minimally more than a bushing and ball joint kit and are 100 times easier to install. The old steel gets soft with age too.
