I am going to replace the upper control arm bushings on the axle side with these

Are those the right ones for a 1998 Cobra? If not, can you give the right part number for energy bushings that will fit my car. Thanks!

I'd skip buying the energy bushings and buy the ford racing bushings instead which are 50% more stiff than stock without the noise that the energy's can produce. Summit or Jegs sells them.

I have those spherical bearings and I think the right side one is rattling. I unbolted it from the differential and I could move the bearing with my hand which I should not be able to do, so I think it is toast. I would like to try some rubber ones and see how long they last and see if they get rid of the rattling sound.
