Rekons there are about 5 different part numbers for them. Whats the difference with the arms or is it the bushes?The bushes vary a little, but the arms are all the same - the spare parts guy is being a lazy *beep*...

20pounds Member 180 Member For: 16y 8m 24d Gender: Male Posted 20/08/14 10:55 PM Author Share Posted 20/08/14 10:55 PM So the arms are exactly the same dimensions? Cause they want $400 per arm and there are arms on eBay for $120 each. I wonder if the eBay arms are any good.

Ralph Wiggum Moar Powar Babeh Lifetime Members 19,332 Member For: 19y 8m 25d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 21/08/14 03:07 AM Share Posted 21/08/14 03:07 AM Can I suggest leaping under the car and making sure all the suspension mounting bolts are tight?My F6 (albeit a B Series) developed a squeak over low speed bumps.I found both LHS top wish bone bolts where loose. The metal locknut's had lost their "lock" (they are metal Tri-Lock/Squish Nuts) and hence both bushes where squeaking.I got some replacement nuts from Caterpillar (Ford have discontinued) installed them and torqued at ride height and the noise is gone.
