How to service and repair the upper control arm on all-wheel drive (AWD) and front-wheel drive (FWD) on 2008 Ford Fusion?

The service process of upper control arm repairs starts with wheel and tire removal before using a suitable jack to support the trailing arm. It is essential to maintain the shock absorber lower nut from being fully tight until achieving the bushing fastener tightening position to prevent improper clamp loads that would endanger the bushings. Remove and discard the shock absorber lower bolt and flagnut before tightening the shock absorber lower nut to 90 Nm for AWD vehicles and 115 Nm for FWD vehicles. When working with FWD vehicles users must remove and discard the outboard bolt from the upper arm before fastening the new bolt at 110 Nm (81 lb-ft) while maintaining bushing fastener tightening position. In AWD vehicles uninstall the upper arm outboard bolt together with nut before fastening the new nut to 110 Nm (81 lb-ft) torque while suspending the bushing at its proper tightening point. Remove the jack while lowering the trailing arm and check that the shock absorber has an optimal position to remove the upper arm. After removing the upper arm inboard bolt you should install the new component and torque it to 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) before further turning it 90 degrees. Ensure you raise the suspension with a suitable jack so that the center hub distance from the fender lip reaches 395 mm (15.55 in) before proceeding to tighten the bushing fasteners because this prevents incorrect clamp load along with damage to bushings. After finishing installation replace the upper arm inboard bolt before checking whether camber adjustment is needed.
