Upper Control Arm Bush Replacement
Just wondering if anyone has replaced the upper control arm bushings on a "89-like Aerostar ? Luckily the upper bracket is a 2 peice design,so I can just deal with the rear bushing on the passenger side,which is the only one that is bad,for some reason. I was wondering how tight the thru bolts for the bracket would be,should I just get the 3/4 impact ready or will a 1/2 breaker bar do just fine ?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

I just changed them on my 93... no problem with 1/2 inch stuff. Just be sure to get them torqued back down to the proper spec. Those bolts hold the whole "a" frame as I recall.
