I’m changing parts on the front end and have a few questions:
1) Upper control arm: I need a source for the control arm to frame bolts; they are not available from Ford. I left the tabs on the 2 facing the front but had to remove them to get the bolts out facing the firewall. The head of the bolt will not allow me to tighten the one facing the firewall enough without the torque wrench slipping. Others suggestions for how to torque them with the original bolts would be appreciated.
2) Strut links and lower control arm ball joints: How do you tighten the bolts, the keep rotating with no way to hold them.
Thanks,
Duane
