Online source for complete Lower Control Arms

As per usual the Lincoln dealer says there is no such thing. Why do I even call anymore?

Would these fit a 1995?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-06...30114001r13470

Nope

any other suggestions?

Hi Sitka

Auction says 04 - 06, what do you think?

definitely not. The specific ball joint you need is a 1995-2002 item, so you'd be looking for a 95-02 lower arm assembly. The arms themselves are identical 1979-2002, but the ball joint is different.

Unless one of your arms is damaged, you can rebuild them easy enough. Need a ball joint press to do the ball joint, and you can do the same for control arm bushings, or go poly and use a big torch. The torch is a lot more fun.

Probably because they are factory parts, rock auto doesn't source a lot of them.
