I'm assuming you're referring to the front "k-frame". Use the search and look for "k frame"

Here is a good one:

I'd recommend a k-frame from any 89-90 car except for the L-bodies (and vans of course)
Make sure to get the complete K frame with lower control arms. Then get a poly control arm bushing kit from Energy Suspension like this:

According to Energy Suspension look for these cars:
Dodge Aries 1989 - 1989
Dodge Daytona 1989 - 1990
Dodge Lancer 1989 - 1989
Dodge Spirit 1989 - 1990
Plymouth Acclaim 1989 - 1990
Plymouth Reliant 1989 - 1989
Plymouth Sundance 1990 - 1990

ES seemed to forget about the Lebaron for some reason

to clarify,
this would upgrade your pre-89 'single pivot' to the 89+ dual-pivot style of LCA,
certainly a worthwhile upgrade to consider

but to answer your OP:
any pre-89 EEK (i.e. all FWD except L- & S-bodies) *should* be identical to yur 88 H-body...

a manual trans k-frame would have a bracket for the bobble strut.. can be added to a A/T k-frame
