Title: upper control arm location spacer???
Post by: holdenhead on October 02, 2006, 10:07:55 AM
Hi, Hope someone can help. I am replacing the upper inner control arm bushes on my FC and need a upper control arm location spacer to install them. Tool number 3 A 5. That's whats in the book anyway. without it, it will be difficult to tighten the bushes without putting the control arm off centre. Does anyone have 1 which i doubt or does anyone know how i can do this another way. Any info would be greatly apreciated. Cheers Rick

The tool is really only a spacer, you can achieve the same thing by using a carefully cut piece of steel and bending it into a U shape to simulate the original tool.  The upper arm is supposed to be central around the top of the tower.
