Coil seat help!

So I was changing my ball joints on my 94 F150 2WD and during the process I somehow lost one of my coil seats. I know I could probably find one at a junk yard. But is there anyplace other than the dealer (100$), where I can order one. Or possibly some kind of aftermarket spacer that would work. Thanks.

The seats are right and left specific and there are TWO different types, with or without stabilizer bar. Where did'ja come up with that 100 buck price since all are obsolete?

With: F2TZ-5A307-E (replaced E8TZ-5A307-C) Right & F2TZ-5A307-D (replaced E8TZ-5A307-G) Left = 1988/96 F150/350 2WD same, both are obsolete.

Without: F2TZ-5A307-A (replaced E8TZ-5A307-B) Right & F2TZ-5A307-B (replaced E8TZ-5A307-F) Left = 1988/96 F150/350 2WD same, both are obsolete.

All four are available NOS. If interested will list sources, but need to know where you live so I won't list sources that are a gazillion miles away.

I went to my local ford dealer told the parts guy I needed a coil seat for a 94 F150 he looked it up and said it will be about $100 after shipping. Also how can you tell the difference between the driver and passenger side seats?

No, have nothing to compare with.

See post 2 again, cuz there's four different types.

Ford dealer parts locator system shows none of the four different types at any of the 24 nationwide parts depots.

So to verify, I typed all four part numbers into FTE sponsor tousleyfordparts.com website: Part number not found = Obsolete

But some dealers still have them in stock. Part numbers/applications listed in post 2.

F2TZ-5A307-A = Last MSRP: $85.02 / Dealer net cost: $56.68.

F2TZ-5A307-B = Last MSRP: $23.66 / Dealer net cost: $15.77.

F2TZ-5A307-D = Last MSRP: $69.95 / Dealer net cost: $46.63.

F2TZ-5A307-E = Last MSRP: $139.29 / Dealer net cost: $92.86.

Call the whiz bang parts cluck, ask which one a these puppies you were quoted the 100 buck price for.

Oh, he must have looked up the wrong part. If you would be so kind as to source those that would be great. I Live in NE Indiana around Fort Wayne. Also my truck does not have the stabilizer bar. Thanks a lot for the help.

Well I can only get the left non stabilizer bar coil seat... So my question is can I use the coil seats* designed to attach to a stabilizer bar with out a stabilizer bar. I cant see an issue with this but any info would be great.

*F2TZ5A307D & F2TZ5A307E
