Ford 6W1Z-3085-N
Upper Control Arm, Front Driver Side

Service and repair operations on the upper control arm start by turning off electrical power to air suspension because unexpected air spring inflation or deflation could shift the vehicle while working. The first step involves switching off the air suspension service switch. The first step requires removing the shock absorber with the spring assembly and disconnecting the retainers from the arm. Take off the nuts along with bolts and upper arm before disposing the nuts. Workers should tighten the upper arm-to-crossmember bolts before completing vehicle installation when the wheel weight rests on tire assemblies. The final step should consist of performing alignment checks if needed.

The service and repair procedure of the lower control arm must begin only after turning off electrical power to the air suspension system because unexpected air spring inflation or deflation can cause vehicle movement during operations. Begin service operations by taking out the wheel along with its attached tire. The holding feature stops the stud from rotating during nut removal and discarding. Move on to remove both the flag bolt along with the nut before disposing of the discarded nut. Avoid the removal of the cam bolt because it might cause damage to the steering bellows boot during this operation. First remove the nut and afterward discard both the nut and the bolts. Unfasten the bolts which lead to a gear lift that enables cam bolt reach. Extract both the cam bolt together with the lower arm. The installation of the new lower arm requires you to snug the pivot bolts and nuts but final tightening should wait until both the weight of the vehicle rest on its tire assemblies and installation work is finished. Complete the inspection by checking and if necessary aligning the front end.
