Question Upper A-arm cam bolt kit P/N?

did a search and could not find anything about this, but I know its out there. Does anyone have either a TSB number or a part number for the upper A-arm cam bolt kit? Also is it something the dealer must install or can they give me one over the counter so I can install myself? What all is involved in the installation?

Peter B. go here,

and read my reply in post (part of the way down)

Here's the TSB #14417 for the lower control arm clunk--covers toothed washers and nut. Is that what you needed?

Peter B.,

Yes, you can do it yourself. After all that movement on the upper suspension, have it aligned to get within specs. From there, have your brother help you "tweak" the alignment to get it perfect.

Under the Ford TSB the number lists as Article No. 00-25-08.
Says to torque nut to 190 N-m(140 lb-ft).

Mine goes in this Friday for the fix. Will be happy to report my results after driving for a few days!
Good luck!

Specialty products http://www.specprod.com/ manufactures a cam bolt kit for the L. that is considerabley cheaper than the Ford kit. It lists for $62.50, but I got it for $44.29 + tax from a local distributor.
