Lower Rear Control Arm
#7
id get new bolts if i were you.. i spent over 5horus just trying to remove the control arm and finally just cut it off completely.. i had the whole control arm though.. and still if you get some aftermarket bushings, you will need to get them pressed in ..

at 120$ (tax in im pretty sure) a control including both bushings, i thought it wasnt so bad.. now i need to do the other side.. oh yeah and the bolt costs about 2-3$ .. BUT, if you are removing it you might want to check if the nut is still properly welded to the other control arm part.. i undid mine with an impact gun and not only did the bolt not come out of the bushing "cylinder" it pushed the whole nut of its weld points.. so i bought the same size bolt and nut at ford..

was your car swaying back and forth? thats why i did mine and it helped alot.. but now the other side is doing it (yeah i know i shouldve done both at the same time.. )
ZX3T gone..
