Been getting my back side kicked for the last 4 hrs..
The red arrow is pointing to a hole. This hole has what is called a rivet nut to be installed.
Now i have just enough room above that hole to fit both of my hands in it..so a install tool is out of the question.
This RN ( rivet nut ) is for the lower control arm to mount to. The original anchors were destroyed when i was removing them. The new ones are a 11/16 by about 1 in long. They collaps or pinch from .200 to .325. And take a 1/2 st thread bolt... the one and only place i found them for this application was threw boltdepo.com and that is because it is a industrial size application with high torque...
Ford.. this was a horrible ideah to do this. A welded nut on the back would of been better
