Item 10: Lower Arm (LH/RH) Installation Note
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Monterey and 2004 Ford Freestar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Do not use air tools to tighten the lower arm nuts and bolts.
CAUTION:
The lower control arm attachment-to-subframe bolts contain thread adhesive. Do not partially remove bolts. When removing or installing bolts, do so with one continuous sequence to prevent the adhesive from setting.
