    Can I fit a 2002 Tribute/Escape suspension on a Protege5?

    Looking to see if I can fit a 2002 tribute/escape suspension on a P5. Parts look similar, and I know the sway bar links crossover. Anybody got any hard data on measurements between them? Are Escape parts bigger, but look the same? Yes I'm trying to get this thing springy, possibly on a lift...

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Control arms and rear trailing arms and front and rear sway bar links. Inner and outer tie rods...Also found a transmission leak from the side pan... Anyone know the torque specs on those bolts? Can't be much. They're 10mm. I'm guessing around 3.4kgf Poor girl's dirty....

    P5 ECUs

    And yes I'm asking questions and making trouble on purpose... I love how cheap this car is to repair and easy to work on (generally.. if it hadn't been sitting in a flood). But it needs a little more power. Not a ton, but a little. My Expedition can drive more spiritedly. Granted, the Expo came...
