S-type LS Thunderbird ball joints

Hey all, anyone had luck swapping out their ball joints for the 03-08 S-type's? In theory they should be compatible, but I wanted to check first.

Thank you, I'd looked over that but only saw responses about the ball joints built into the control arms and I was wondering about the lower joints.

Probably more expertise in the S-type forum?

I could have been clearer. Ford used the same suspension bits for multiple cars, so yes you can acquire the S-Type ball joints and they will fit. Part number is C2C257889 or C2C257889BJ.

I figured I'd have better luck asking which S-type parts fit an XK on this forum than on the S-type one
