95 Cougar upper control arm bolt
Bought dorman upper control arms but they didn't have the bolts.
Dealer says they are discontinued and doesn't have the specs on bolt size etc. Anyone have any info on the bolts? Thanks |

Re: 95 Cougar upper control arm bolt
Dealer parts should be able to give you the bolt size and sell new ones.
I always used the old bolts when Installing new bushings. Measure the length on the old bolt and take old nut to hardware. Check pitch and diameter these are not normally stocked and will have to be ordered. Buy same grade this is important. It would be cheaper to get some at a scrap yard. |

Re: 95 Cougar upper control arm bolt
UPDATE?
Ford/Lincoln/Mercury corporation doesn't have a clue and told me to go to the dealer. This is after I initially told them that I had been to both a Lincoln/Mercury and Ford dealer. I just used the old ones but only got it to minimun torque since the heads were starting to round. |

Re: 95 Cougar upper control arm bolt
If you can pull out one of the bolts or nuts go to tractor Supply,Fastenal,or your local hardware. Find the bolt size diameter,length,and thread pitch.
I'm almost certain their grade 10.9 bolts and nuts. If they don't have one you can order on line google bolt suppliers. |
