I'm about to some suspension & brake work to my '03. Since I'll have a lift for a couple of days I'll probably service the transmission as well. This all started with my ball joints.

I bought a set of MOOGs a few months ago and now have the rest of the parts on the way. Because I already bought the balljoints I don't want to have to buy new upper control arms just to get a new bushing. Ford lists 3069 Suspension Control Arm Bushing (Front) $43.00. Anybody have the long part number or an alternative.

Has anybody serviced the UCA bushing on these? Any tips? I'll probably be renting the puller for this job.

There is a really good thread on this procedure with pictures, and it has been updated recently. Do a search.

I did the job myself as a result. Not that hard.
 






Hmmm...read all the UCA threads in 02-05, guess I'll run a wider search. Glad it wasn't too bad, I've been told it's a pain by others.
