So the ol hot rod has been thumping around (which isn’t too out of the ordinary)and getting worse. Finally got it jacked up and was checking everything out spotted play between shock bushing and mount and the. discovered my coil tower housing / mount hanging on for dear life. I’ll upload a video.

my question is , I see some replacements online that that are 130+ a piece , but I see a whole lot of sets that are a more likable price but they are for broncos and then f100and f150’s. I can’t figure out if the bronco tower mounts are the same or not. Some places I’ve read say no then I’ve read some sheets that say they would work.
Can anybody who’s already dealt with this give me some info or maybe drop a link to a pair for both sides that aren’t going to cost 300 or more, if the sets for 100-150 will work?

I suspect you're not going to like what the frame looks like behind the towers.
I'm in the rust belt. we always expect the worst and usually find it.
hopefully your frame is OK.

yes that’s what I was afraid of as soon as I seen it. I crawled under and got a good look and feel and I’m pretty positive it should be okay, and get me by
 
Wonder what's different about the 4wd ones? They're cheaper...
Right Coil Spring Tower
Left Coil Spring Tower

Edit: Ford Dealers online seem to say they're the same?
That’s the same part number as the one I was going to resort too for around 130 each! I thought I looked there and all I seen was for bronco maybe I just needed a second set of eyes. Thank you!!

Unless I just had the wrong part number to begin with😬 I think I’ll give it a shot though
