Hello,
I was hoping you guys could give me some details on replacing a lower control arm on the vehicle listed above it is the XLT model.
The other day my brakes started pulling real bad every time I tried to stop, so I thought maybe it was a caliper or brake hose issue. so I jacked it up and noticed nothing wrong with any brake parts, but when I tried shaking the right side wheel it had tremendous play in it, and noticed the lower control arm moving with the wheel, and saw that it was half way out of the bushing. I circled what I noticed and every time I shook the wheel it moved in and out of the bushing, and I pretty much thought well there is my problem, everything else looked fine, even both tie rod ends and ball joints. think I found my problem? And I already know driving it like this is dangerous so I parked it. Thanks!
