Ok this may have been answerd before so sorry

On the rear of a BA (BF etc) the lower control arm that the spring sits on, the bolts that hold it to cradle you have to take the diff out to remove.

is there any reason why I cannot put them in the other way round to make it 100% easyer to remove if need be in future? as I have to take diff out in comming weeks anyway.

is there a reason why there put in that way??

Isnt there a fuel tank in the way on the passenger side or am I thinking of another bolt near the tank. It can only go in one way to clear the tank assy.

nah the one the springs sit on it bolted under the diff, thts the other arm that's bolted near the fuel tank etc

anyone?

The bolts are cam bolts if then inner washer is setup the same as the outter (ie D shaped hole and matching machining on the bolt) I cant see why you couldn't swap them, as long as you can access the nut to tighten them. If you try to tighten the by rotating the bolt youll change the toe angle.

yeah that's what I was thinking, it just would be better for future if the bushs ever needed replaceing again. the only reason I can see why would be because its easyer to get to, but any half decent shop coud see there in back to front and tighten lol

Mine are in back to front. They work perfectly fine on my fg xr6t and gave done so for 25,000+ kms

thanks!

both sides of the cradle are the same so im thining its just one of fords little stupid things like any manufacture lol
