Arc help please

[northface 1963]

Hi all , 2000 north face explorer with arc suspension , I have new shocks to go on and when underneath I noticed that the spring for the ride height adjuster had popped off , on closer inspection the joint is actually missing , I have tried ford and scoured the web for any pictures of this but no luck.
What I need is a new bar(the bit that attaches to the axle case) so any part numbers or pictures of the joint so I can see what it is I need to replace.
Thanks in advance

Here's the only picture I have of my rear height sensor. There is a bracket at each end, and the sensor and another arm attach to those at the round ball sockets, seen on the lower bracket here.

That's perfect , as ford don't seem to have a clue as to what I'm talking about , I will have to weld a new ball joint on , I assume that the 2 ball joints are the same size?

I'm not sure, it's been since 2006 that I installed that stuff and took the pictures.

I can tell you that the balls are the weakest links, those rust all around that area, and the other parts are fragile as well. It may be impossible to find another set of parts, but what you need will be from a 95-01 4dr Explorer. The 95-98 Limited's all had the ARC system, and in 99-01 it was an option for any model, but it was rear only then.

The "new" 98 Limited I just bought had very few ARC parts left, the compressor and shocks, and the height sensors were gone. I found a couple of the air solenoids hanging in the back, and one little front sensor frame bracket. I wished it had the rear parts you need, I've wanted to find a spare set for my 99.

When you get if fixed, keep those joints lubricated well, and go back at them say once a year. I used anti-seize on mine, since they were already corroded and rough. They aren't intended to really need lubricating, but once any rust starts, you need to use something on the bare metal to slow the corrosion down. Good luck,
