Ford AerostarOriginally conceived as an answer to the first Chrysler minivans, the Aerostar is an old school rear-drive van that's at its best when it's harnessed for hard work. It can haul--and tow--heavier loads than the front-drive crowd, and gets the job done with a fair degree of comfort and style.
So, I recently swapped out my upper control arm bushings, and was it a PITA! But, in all reality, it wasn't hard. Just very time consuming. What made this bad is the fact that the through bolts are rusted badly, Ford don't carry them, but the dealership had the specs on them. I ordered a full set of bolts, nuts, and washers from Fastenal in a grade 10 spec. Wish I had pics of this all, but I don't. I'll have the camera ready when I go in to swap the old bolts out for new ones in case anyone is interested.
