Ford Contour Ford Contour combines sporty driving dynamics with the comfort and practicality of a four-door sedan. It doesn't have the rear-seat space of a Taurus, but Ford improved rear legroom and revised the styling. Contour SVT pours on the coal with a higher output version of the Duratec V6, a sports suspension and bigger brakes.

If it's been replaced before it should be bolted to the lower control arm. If the entire control arm was replaced (typical) then the ball joint will be rivited on. The upper bolt is a pinch bolt to the steering knuckle. You may want to replace the entire lower control arm (the new ones have the ball joints already on them).
