"There are several reasons for this:
  • First, starting in 2003, the fullsized fords (Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car) all had rack-and-pinion steering and a coilover-style spring and shock assembly. For several years, they even had cast-aluminum lower A-arms.
  • Second, the donor cars—Ford's Panther Platform—are everywhere.
  • Third, the components are tough. Designed for police work, the parts will take a beating.
  • Fourth, replacement parts are cheap and can be found anywhere."
