Hi guys,

I´m about to replace my front lower control arms on my 2007 expedition but I´m not sure if W713339-S439 is the correct part number for the control arm bolts?!
There is a youtube video where the guy talks about 2 different bolts (one longer than the other) and now I´m a bit confused, especially since the old ones are just literal bolts and not eccentric.

Any idea which ones I should order?

Thank you :)

I worked on Expedition a bit, but mostly F150, as a mfg engineer back in the 2000-2010 era. I found W709077-S426 in some very old files. This likely would have been before F150 upsized to an M18 (?) during the 2004 launch since I found a different part # with higher torque in my later files. I believe Expedition stayed with M16 part that I mentioned above. The W713339 indeed looks to be an eccentric bolt. I believe PD put a few stampings in the cross-member that allowed the cam bolts to be used for service since it's not easy to manually manipulate the LCA bolts in the slots to try to achieve the alignment specs. I also do believe your front and rear bolts were the same length in that generation. Have you tried the auto parts stores to see if they sell an aftermarket version of the bolts? I agree with you, the Ford sites I'm looking at are not very clear on the correct part.
