That track bar bushing is a PITA to change when the bolt/adjustment cam is seized inside the thing. That seemed like a lot of work just to be able to adjust the toe alignment back there. After fussing with it 3 hours + 4 or 5 drill bits destroyed I decided that I had met my match, dug out the angle grinder and sacrificed the track bar. I had a spare on hand.

On a side note. Rode with a friend for the weekend to a campground in southern Indiana/Brown county in his '15 5-0 Mustang. Aside from the classic exterior styling reminiscent of the '60s mustangs that I admit does look 'neat', I wasn't terribly impressed with the car. Skip the detail below if you're not interested my more detailed take of the "5-0 Ford Mustang"
Interior has a cheap hard plasticy look-feel, side windows flop around disconcertingly when opening/closing the doors. Visibility both forward and rear is awful.
He got stuck in the mud where he tried to park at the campground (I would never have tried to park in that spot that
everyone else was passing up). I got a look underneath in the course of getting it pulled out by a tractor. No tow hook or solid provision for getting pulled that I could see. Every potentially suitable point to attach a rope/chain looked risky. He stomped on the gas a couple times attempting to show off during the drive down. Last few miles across a winding hilly country road to the campground he commented how fun the car is to drive on that sort of road. Not so great handling, ride quality, and poor forward visibility when cresting a steep hill resulted in an 'unbalanced' experience that I thought more scary than fun.
I don't seem to appreciate how the larger displacement NA both feels and sounds under hard acceleration. I'm so used to the low end torquey turbo on the S60. The larger displacement 5-L NA on the Mustang comes across more like a marketing gimmick once experienced. Frankly, what that vehicle needs is something more along the lines of the B6294T Volvo T6. But I suppose something between 2.8-3.5L wouldn't entice dimwits to the dealer lot quite as well.
