Hi I have a 2000 5.0 AWD XLT i TORE DOWN MY RIDE FOR Ball joints shocks and tie rods but I found i have two diferent types of uper controll arms any one else have this prob???

Everyone with a 2nd generation has 2 different upper control arms. Unless it has been replaced with the cost saving one piece arm--( not recommended)


The passenger side is adjustable for caster.

Be careful to not get the one piece replacement for that side.

The topic is rather common here. Use the search button and you'll find your answer.

so when i get my uca from napa make sure its the adujtable one for the pass. side and the one piece hoop for the driver?

Yes
I would also at this time get a set of 4 camber adjusters , 2 for each side. This will allow a dead on alignment.

Can you explain that a bit for those of us who are not alignement gurus? Why would we need the camber kit after going 10 years without one?

Thanks!
