Lower Rear Trailing Control Arms Pair with Hardware - Left and Right for Ford Expedition Lincoln Navigator (Tubular with Polyurethane Bushings) | F85Z-5A649-AA | F85Z 5A649-BA

These arms appear to be heavier duty than OEM parts. Hardware fit fine except for 1 bolt, it had a raised area where the threads end on the bolt. It was just a matter of grinding it down just a lil bit to get it to go thru all the way.Just an FYI...2002 expedition (and possibly other models or years) the left side front bolt can only be removed 2 ways. Remove the gas tank or cut the bolt at the head side. I chose to cut it off, also when installing arm, fasten the front part of it 1st then the rear. It will make it easier to push/pry to get holes to line up & get bolt thru.

Perfect replacement part. More sturdy than OEM. Only installation note I can off is the original bolt at the front of the driver's side arm may have to be cut off, as the fuel tank is too close to remove it. When installing this part (with the provided new bolts) insert the bolt from the outside. A reciprocating saw makes clean work of removing the original. Overall, it's a better piece at a better price.

Installed yesterday and fit perfect! Only thing I would change is the mounting bolts need to be a little longer. The quality was great! Stronger and better than any other competitive product!

Fast shipping, seems to be well constructed. It is about 1/4 inch longer than original but did not affect handling. As others have said you'll need to cut the bolt head off the left side one and put the bolt in the opposite direction, otherwise you'll need to drop the fuel tank which makes an hour job into several hour job. I choose the quicker route

There is no doubt this is a quality product at a great price but I was disappointed in the fit. This set was a few millimeters larger than the original parts I removed from my 98 Expedition. That doesn't sound like a big difference but it did make what should have been a simple installation more difficult and time consuming.

They looked like they were better made than the factory ones now I need the upper ones

These look to be a hundred times stronger that the factory ones. The hardware was bigger that factory so if using this hardware you must drill out the holes. I did use the new hardware and drilling out the holes didn't take long with a new drill bit and battery powered drill. While taking out the old arms, one of the bolts on the front passenger side had to be cut out because the bolt hit the gas tank and was too long to be just pulled out. The whole job took about 4 hours due to cutting the one bolt took a long time. otherwise not too hard of a job.

Excellent price and strong rectangle tube, had to pull axle rearward for 1 was 1/4'' longer, but beats the factory expensive ones on an old Expedition.
