    Got mine through Rock auto, before that I got them through NAPA. They're surprisingly pricey.

    Mustang ones will work, the difference between the two, are the bushing size, and the bolt size. If you have a way, you can turn the Mustang bushings down. It's a bit of work.., but if that's all you can find. They are also the same a Cougar, maybe call a Cougar supplier?
