Ford and there parts....
Well I was working on my truck today, changing out the balljoints when I ran into a problem. THe lower ball joint came out easy but the top one gave me porblems. I tryed and tryed to get it out...I took off the control arm and everything...finally it just shatterd. So I contact Ford to see about a new upper control arm and then they tell me that the upper ball joint and control arm are all one piece. I mean what the hell. I needed that info before I took one hour trying to get it off and I broke a Balljoint removing clamp. WHy do they make it so compliacted.
