Default Control Arm Bushing Bolts

I've been having some front end bouncing and noise, and noticed that my UCA bushings look shot. The bolts are rusted, so I'm planning on having to replace them. What size are the bolts and the nuts? Is there a kit I can buy somewhere?

i believe you can buy some adjustable cam bolts probably cheaper than buying new. otherwise, i'd hit the junkyards, because i bet Ford want way too much for them!

----------

otherwise, you might want to take them out and inspect. if you can get away with reusing the washers... that might open up the possibilities

I don't believe you can buy just the upper control arm bushings, you'll likely have to buy the whole arm.

As far as bolts, you can pick up them up in a "camber kit" for 30 bucks or so.

Rockauto has Moog upper bushings, the lower bushing are what have been few and far between.

After seeing that these bolts are in face the camber/adjustment bolts, I'm just going to have a shop ride along and replicate my symptoms, and see what they say.

Really? Huh, the more you know. Haha. That would cut down on the cost a little. But, if there's any doubt about the condition of your upper balljoint, you might as well just do the whole arm while you've got it apart.
