whats the part # for the camber bolts
Wouldn't it be easier to just remove the splash guard from the fender liner?
I have a '99 and you don't have to remove the wheel well to get to the upper control arms, just raise or pop out the flap out of the way.
What happens if you tighten/torque all the bolts before weight is on the vehicle? I did that before I watched any videos it drove fine to the alignment shop, I told the sales guy to tell the mechanic but he said he would figure it out, n it all gets adjusted during the alignment anyway he said. Well I drove it home and it's pulling to the right , not real bad but definitely it's not right. Taking it back Monday to the shop. Plus it got 4 new tires.
Any information anyone can provide is appreciated. Thanks.
Why didn’t y’all reinstall a two piece set up? Did I miss something?
The kit I received didn't have a new pinch bolt what size is it for a 99 B 2500 Mazda ? Can I just get a 10.9 bolt
Is the torque specs the same on a 2006 ford ranger 2wd?
I have a 2000 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 2wd. It has this 2 piece upper control arm on the passenger side as well. I wasn't aware you could change it to the 1 piece control arm. Is that a common upgrade/conversion for Explorer/Ranger vehicles? Also, would it be a good idea to install camber/caster bolt set's when replacing the control arms? Thanks in advance.
It was not necessary to remove all that plastic…
do I need to do a front end aliginment when I change the upper control arm
Can we do an upper ball joint without doing the control arm????
you've saved me with that camber bolt
What part number would I use for a 2001 ford explorer 4wd to replace a two piece with a one piece on the rh upper
I really hope you're still reading comments on this post, because I'm having a slight issue with my 2000 4WD Ranger. On the driver's side, everything looks normal as in the video, but on the passenger's side, there's an extra arm attached to the control arm, and I can't seem to find any information on it. I took a picture of both sides, but I don't see any way to post it. Any thoughts?
Is there supposed to be a plate on the front most passenger side where the camber bolt goes into. Said plate as shown 5:45.
Thank you.
Hello. What is the part number for the bolts and eccentric washers that you held up. Looks like a great solution but can't find it on your web site. Thank you.
Leave it to ford to have to replace a whole control arm to change out a balljoint
I really like the two videos I watched about dealing with the torsion bar, and lower control arm. What happened to this one? seems like a different person, and poor video detail, plus dude was pretty vague on what appeared should have been important points.
Can someone explain the advantage or disadvantage of converting this upper control arm from the 2 piece adjustable type to the 1 piece non adjustable piece? I need to tackle this job on my Ranger, but would like to make the best repair possible. Thanks
USE A MALLETTT !!!
What is the torque setting you tighten the camber bolts to before you used the screw jack.and how do you determine how much to jack it up for the preload.
Went to inspect the front end noticed a tear in the ball joint boot, damn it! Thanks to the videos and Amazon's moog replacement, it'll get done cheap and quickly in the comfort of my driveway lol. Thanks guys
PLEASE HELP! im working on a 2000 ranger upper ball control arm and I cant get a straight answer on which side is left and right i dont see a difference but dont wanna chance it. do they go buy looking at the front of the truck or sitting behind the wheel??

Thank you. I was grunting and cussing my way through this before the video.
