04 Upper Control Arm/Ball Joint
I am having a hell of a time finding these for my truck. I need them desperately and the parts stores up here dont have any record of them. I have contacted Rock Auto and they gave me a part number of 45D1081 and 45D1082 of ACDELCO but there is a 12 day wait on shipping. Anyone had luck finding some for a 04 4wd with torsion bar suspension, one peice design?

The ball joints that fit (edges) are ones for a 01+ sport track 4x4, and I got them from napa, very heavy duty and greasable.
Napa also has a different part # for 4x4 ones, its on their webpage, you can look up the part numbers www.napaonline.com
here are mine that i just replaced:

Advance auto has them here and keeps them in stock for me ( I eat a set every year ). They are greasable, but I dont knon about the balljoint to spindle diameter of them.. I'm a 2wd Edge.
If you have an Advance Auto in your area, give them a ring. Mine are greasable as well.. made by TRW.
I HAD a set of Moogs and they didn't last long.

Well, I also wheel my truck when I'm off road. I'm not rough on my truck, but I'm not exactly easy on her either. It's ok, major mods are in store within the netx month or 2. I should have done most of this back when I had $5k from my accident settlement. Now I'm having to built back up from scratch.
04Lvl2, if I can find the receipt I can try to get you the ford part numbers if you want them. I'll be at work all day tomorrow though.
EDIT: come to think about it, when I cranked my t-bars (only about 1 inch) i kept trying to get into Big-O tires for an alignment. It took me some time to get in, mainly because of my school and work schedule vs their hours of business. I was way out of alignment, requiring an eccentric kit from Big-O and then Ford put on a camber kit. Or was it the other way around. Ehh, whatever. All I know is she drives straight now. But I do remembering reading back when I first got the truck that front suspension components are prone to faster wear from cranking the t-bars.
