I am still working on my front suspension, trying to replace the upper control arm this time. It is strainge that my passenger side factory upper control arm is a two-piece arm bolt together. The inner piece is control arm itself and the outer piece has the upper ball joint in it. This is different from the driver side upper control arm which is just one-piece. I tried look for the factory style pass side control arm in the store, but all they have is the one-piece modul and they told me that this is what listed in the catalog. So my question is that is the one-piece pass side control ok? Has anyone have the same situation?
 






The two piece allows for caster adjustment where the one piece does not. It will be much easier if you can find a two piece as you do not have to remove the camber bolts.
 






Ford still carries them, I agree that the two piece arm is a preferred choice.
