I read that the mazda protege and the ford escort share the same chassis. Could anyone tell me what parts are directly interchangable?

This would be greatly appreciated in helping me obtain some parts i need for an upcoming job on my car.

I currently have the task of replacing my sway bar (for the second time), struts, and brakes ahead of me. Thanks!

 

The engine/drivetrain/suspension components between the Escort GT ('91-'96????) and the '90-'94 protege LXs are for all intent and purposes, identical.

 

yes, i dentical parts, but not specs (i.e spring rates, strut valving) the meat and potatoes is all interchangable, but stuff like trim, electronics (except the ECU), body panels are either not interchangable or can be but with some mazdification.

 

ya also the 91-96 Mercury tracer LTS is a 4 dr Escort GT. I think it's basically the same car as a pro.

 

So is the Escort LXE.

 

I like that one

 

Very comprehensive writeup anyway. Cool

 

the racks "MAY" interchange between 1st gen Mazda and 3rd gen ZX2, but i know for a fact the ZX2 bushings do not fit the 1st gen Protege.

 

Mazda BG stuff/Ford Escort GT is equal to Ford Laser TX3 sold here in Malaysia and elsewhere.

 

will you marry me Gro?

 

escort tie-rod ends wont work on a pro, there too long.
