I have a 1999 Explorer with 2wd. I am going to replace all the ball joints. The upper passenger side is currently a 2 piece design. Moog makes a 1 piece control arm to replace it. Am I able to use the 1 piece arm to replace the 2 piece upper control arm which is on it now? The 1 piece replacement will have the bushings installed included. The 2 piece control arm with ball joint does not have the bushings.

 

Even Ford updated the OEM part, and uses the updated one piece design.
Bushings are pre installed and 2 camber kits are usually needed for proper alignment.
The matching drivers side upper control arm is Moog K8708T. Check Amazon pricing.

Thank you for the reply. I was planning on using Moog parts.

 

The 2-piece upper control arm's purpose is to allow MATCHING, i.e., fine-tuning, of caster angle wheel-to-wheel.

The caster must be as nearly identical, regardless of it's actual amount, on both front wheels, to ensure the best possible straight-tracking of the vehicle.

The literature calls the slight caster difference between wheels "Caster-Split".

I usually buy from these guys: Left: 1999 Ford Explorer Control Arm Right: 1999 Ford Explorer Control Arm

But surprisingly Amazon is actually a lot cheaper for these arms, good tip.

 

What is the part number for the adjustment bolt on the side of the 2 peice upper ball joint on the pass. Side of a 01 ford explorer sport trac amd if possible who would carry it
