Upper Control Arm questions...

[5.0L V8]

So, I was under the impression that some 2nd gen explorers came with 1 piece, and some 2nd gen explorers came with 2 piece upper control arms. I'm watching youtube vids on how to do it and noticed that the passenger side is the two piece? While the driver side is the one piece style. Is this correct?
I'd go out and jack up my explorer to look, but i'm still recovering from 4 stitches to my right thumb from my previous job on it. I can barely hold a jack handle.

Does that sound about right to you? Is there control arms that eliminate the 2 piece style and choose the soild 1 piece? If so, anyone got part numbers for them?

Thanks a bunch,
-Evan

That link isn't working.
I've seen these Moog "Problem Solvers" on RockAuto. Are these the ones that convert both side to one piece design?

single piece control arm

The factory passenger side control arm is a two piece unit that allows for more adjustment than the single piece unit. The single piece unit saves weight but some alignment shops may refuse to attempt alignment with the single piece unit unless the expanded adjustment camber/caster bolts are installed. See Front suspension

The front 2 piece does not come with the shim adjusters stock on the passenger side? I know they do on the driver side. So, you're saying the passenger come 2 piece and the driver comes one piece from the factory?

Cost of the adjustable camber/caster bolts?

Im still asking...the passenger side is two piece while the driver side is one piece from OEM, correct?
