Good to know.New control arms are stiff AF.
Appreciate the advice, but I have no plans of going back to the old stock shocks/struts/springs.PS don't toss your old shocks if you still have them.

Did you notice a big difference in ride quality after replacing your control arms?For the rear I went with Mevotech simply due to the price difference. Initial quality seems good but time will tell how they hold up.
Huge improvement but it was a cumulative result. I replaced the rear shocks, front and rear lower control arms, rear upper control arms, and steering tie rods all at the same time. All had a little play so replacing everything had a dramatic impact.Did you notice a big difference in ride quality after replacing your control arms?
Those MOOG UCAs definitely are adjustable. Sounds like the alignment tech just doesn't want to break the taper to adjust them. Lifetime alignment isn't useful if they're not willing to do a decent job. Find a better shop.Hello gents, I have a couple questions, first: how well Mevotech parts have held over time?
Second: I have an '08 that has negative camber on both sides of the rear end. -2.3° and -2.1°, respectively. I was told at the firestone (where I bought a lifetime alignment package) that I need to install adjustable upper control arms, I installed MOOG RK621801 which seemed to be adjustable because they have thread. they happened to be non-adjustable control arms though. So, I put all my hopes on "SPC Performance 67275 Rear Camber Control Arm for Ford Expedition". However, the ball joins were too thick to get into the knuckles.
Any advice to be able to adjust rear camber?

At 145,000 Miles there wore outHey gang. I have a 2015 XL 4WD with standard suspension and 145K on the clock. I've been frustrated with how sloppy the handling has been, even with 5100s all the way around and 38psi in my tires. I recently went through the whole suspension and steering to see if anything was worn but didn't find much of a smoking gun, although I noticed that there was a bit of play in the rear control arm bushings. Is there a good way to tell what normal deflection is for these rubber bushings and when they're worn enough to replace? Should I just swap them out due to mileage?
