1992 Ford Tempo lower ball joint(lower control arm)

Hi there,

This bolt will tap out, but you need to disconnect the ball joint from the steering knuckle first as the weight of the suspension will not allow you to remove the bolt.

that thing is no fun to change! the bolt just knocks out but puttiin it back in is a bugger! especailly if the front part of car has ever suffered damages that may distort the uniframe! my trick is to put the frame bolt in by pushing/htiting new arm into roughly the right position then inserting screwdriver into frame hole to catch edge of bushing bolt hole and then pry it into place on 1 end(side) while sticking bolt in other end(side)! good luck!
