After doing a bit of research and pricing I found it was al lot cheaper and easier to replace the complete control arms with new bushes all round. I got stuck in and started replacing them I fitted the left side first and it was a breeze only took about 40minutes. But I’ve run into an issue with repacing right as I can’t seem to remove inner bush bolt, it’s like it’s been fitted the wrong way around or done so before shell of car was attached to chassis. Has anybody run into this problem before? Does this mean I am going have to unbolt and drop the whole back end to remove the bolt? I Can upload pictures in the morning.

Similar problem in the FG's as compared to the B-series, if I remember correctly. https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90880-rear-camber-kits/?do=findComment&comment=1554827 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94252-fg-rear-upper-control-arm-replacement/#findComment-1663772 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94252-fg-rear-upper-control-arm-replacement/#findComment-1663778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
