Default Tie Rod End and Control Arms

Hey,
I am about to order tie rod end and control arms and I am kinda confused here! There seems to be two front control arms- lateral and curved. So I am not sure which one is bad on my car but I will try to describe the symptoms!
When I turn on low speeds I can here squeeky noise coming from the suspension (control arm I think). When I go over bumps on low speeds I can here and feel in my steering something click (tie rod end, since I had that problem before and might be a ball joint). When I try to accelerate and step on it, when it changes to lower gear I can hear and feel that click again! So I am sick and tired of it and finally have some cash to do the repair! So if anyone knows what parts I need, please share!
I also have a weird noise coming from the front at about 2700 RPM but it goes away as soon as I hit 3000 RPM. Sounds like something is loose and vibrates between these RMPs, I checked all my heatshields, and other parts that might come looooose, but it all looks OK! PLEASE HELP!

Thanks!

Hey Yank! i just did all the front suspinsion on my 95 and i order the curved control arms the inner and outer tie rod ends the stabilizer bar bushings and endlinks. and two new axles. and let me just say it was a smart thing, mine was all shot bad. now the straight ball joint is our RECALL one so take that to a dealer and have them replace it if it hasnt been done latley. my car was really rough to drive at about 65 before all the work now shes great i doubt you need the axles i just did them to have them new.

Thanks man,
Does anyone know the size and the brand of upgrade injectors, and does anyone have a stand-alone fuel control unit for cheap?

I'm running a stand alone Haltech ... I had RC enginerring build mea custom set of 34# mustang GT injectors that were modded to fit ect ... but I'm running large shot of NOS so overkill for a standard 3.0
I think a set of mitsu 3000 injectors are a good "stock" upgrade

Bad Venge,
Will the 3000 injectors fit? I am using 2.5L lower and upper intake manifolds, and I have no idea what 3000 injectors look like! Do you think that without stand alone these injectors are going to increase power?

To answer a question if it was worth it!? Totally! Can tell a power difference, but right now I am running my 2.5L injectors, and 3.0L needs a lil more fuel to open up its full potential. So if you are thinking SWAP, go for it. If you have any questions, ask. However, I think that manual posted here is sufficient enough. As soon as I get a lil time, I will make some pictures of the completed work and ad them to that manual with some small editions!

Get a set of green top 3000 injectors they look similar to ours .... you'll need an safc at least
