2007 Ford Edge Control Arm Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the upper control arm on 2007 Ford Edge?

  A: Service and repair of the upper control arm starts with tire and wheel removal followed by installation of a suitable jackstand under the lower arm. Installation of the new bolt requires tightening it to 150 Nm (111 ft. lbs) while discarding both the upper arm outboard bolt and nut. Lower the lower arm with care and remove the jack before positioning a jackstand under the subframe area. The inboard upper arm bolt requires lowering the subframe before removal thus you should first remove and discard the two subframe bushing brace-to-body bolts to install new components with 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs) torque settings. During reinstallation secure the subframe forward mounting nut by tightening its bolts to 90 Nm (66 ft. lbs). Removing the upper arm inboard bolt requires a lower position of the subframe during the removal process. When lowering the jack through the rear spring pressure you should release the spring pressure at a controlled pace until you can remove the rearward subframe mounting nut and finally tighten the reinstall bolts to 90 Nm (66 ft. lbs). Before installation of the new upper arm insert remove the upper arm inboard bolt and nut and remove the upper arm component by torquing the new part to 150 Nm (111 ft. lbs). The final piece of advice is to tighten suspension bushing fasteners by having the vehicle rest on its wheels and tires while also following the reversal steps of your removal process.
