In the process of installing new u & l control arms, when everything goes bad i have one lower control arm bolt that i have to cut off due to the inability to get out. does anyone have a part number for this bolt. i have been looking for hours and cannot fined it.
thanks

Have you checked with a Ford dealer?

 

Yeah, I did some intensive searching and only came up with a handful of bolts. Not the actual LCA bolt and nut.

Looks like a trip to the Ford store on this one...

One would think bolts on vehicles would be quite easy to ****** on the Internet... it isn't.

I ran into this same issue a while back on another truck I worked on.

Crazy as it might seem, the replacement bolt was something like $35... maybe more. Talk about sticker shock.

But please don't go to the local box store and get a bolt that just fits -- you are just asking for trouble.

 

If it's a dealer-only item, it may be cheaper to order it from Tasca and pay the shipping. Depends on how much it is, but at least a Ford dealer can look up the part number. So can Tasca.
