Going to have to replace the A-arms and B-joints, I already have the parts, but was wondering about the rt. side (2piece) design, should I just go ahead and use the lower bracket that has the ball joint or should I exchange it for the upper arm with the ball joint, seems the part suppliers that I have visited don't sell the rt arm that goes with the 2 piece set, just the lower bracket the has the ball joint. That bolts to the upper throught 2 cast lugs. I was also going to replace the upper adjustment bolts with caster/camber kits as well. Whats the opinion on the 2part rt. upper control arm design ? from you experianced ranger/expedition fans.
 






Put in the one-piece upper control arm and a set of caster/camber bolts. It's cheaper anyway. There is no benefit to the two-piece arm -- you have to align it anyway when you replace the other side.
