Upper control arms air suspension

[Jimbo2319]

Hello, new to site. Having problems finding upper control arms for my 1998 Eddie Bauer 4x4 w/ Air Suspension . I checked Motorcraft site , Moog, NAPA, Rockauto, Detroit Axle and others with no luck . OEM arm is stamped TRW with a casting # of 060 and not shown on TRW's site either. Any ideas ?

Did you ever figure out what to purchase? I'm having the same issue right now. I am contemplating just replacing the bushings and keeping my original Upper Control Arms.

I just replaced mines with regular arms for the F150, the sensor for the suspension clamps to the left arm, no issues at all

Just do a air ride delete and get rid of that crap. Best thing i ever did with my 98

What do you mean by 'air ride delete'? Even though they're working ok right now, I don't trailer anything anymore so my 99's air shocks are just an unneeded, annoying complexity.

You would remove the air bags and replace them with shocks up front and springs in the rear. Along with the shocks for the rear. My 98 had air ride and the best thing i did was get rid of it. Upper control arms are super easy to find. I just did mine

They've failed twice since I've had my 1999 and starting to leak again so I'm thinking about that. Being rid of that noisy compressor would be a bonus. A shop would have to do it though because springs are not in my playbook.
