Of course, Ford is a reverse acronym. It stands for Driver Returns On Foot.
Wonder what TVR is a reverse acronym for? whistle

Trailer Vehicle Return isn't mine either. Very reliable car. Only 100 amp fuse has ever made me get the RAC out, and now I know the issue that wouldn't stop me either.

At that price it's worth a punt.
I got these on mine from the link they seem great so far, they a bit shorter from the originals like the mondeo rears posted earlier but fine will report back when I've had a great play.

A BIT shorter? More than a bit. I can't possibly see how these little sods are going to fit, compared to the originals. Been faffing for the last hour trying to get one corner of the front suspension on and all I'm getting is annoyed ranting

On the subject, has anyone else had the plate on bottom swing arm that the rears bolt to bend? mine have, think I'll follow Neals mod and get a solid plate welded in place of.

Finally someone else has had the same problem as I had acouple of weeks ago. They are shorter and they are a barsteward, they will go on, but and its abig but, when you jack the wheel in the air and apply full lock they hit the steering arms. Now this wouldnt normally happen, unless you were doing a track day and the wheel wasnt loaded and you were also applying a lot of lock. So if youv got these on for a track day let me know if it works!

So I've got to fit everything on, including the wheel, and jack the wheel up (giving the wheel 'load') to make the drop link line up with the ARB?

Mine are fitted and have done a few TDs and sprints with them, no complaints or issues.

I have some pics with them fitted.......somewhere.

They were a bit of a struggle but with the ARB unbolted they went straight on.
