ITHERTZ66 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I got some moog camber bolts. They did the trick and not expensive. I can't recall the part numbers. Price sounds right for the LCAs. I got mine from Amazon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'm doing Koni orange shocks next. I hope it will provide some better ride manners but will maintain springs for the stock ride height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARALD KELLEY Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Just had mine at the Dealer, ball joints shot at 20000 miles. Installing the Ford Racing replacments M-3075-E. Don't forget either camber caster plates or bolts. May as well fix the tire wear issue as well. Let us know how it goes since the dealer is doing it.

HARALD KELLEY Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Got my Ford Performance control arms and after some discussion, decided to use caster camber plates so I bought the Shelby ones. They both arrived. Hopefully I will get them installed in the next couple of weeks with an alignment. Just trying to decide if I should replace the outer tie rod while it's apart.

ITHERTZ66 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Harald - YES, do the outer tie rods. Mine were shot, and it's an easy replacement while you are at it and very little money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARALD KELLEY Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I opened my control arm box and after comparing to the Ford Performance picture these looks different even though the correct part number. Those that have done this, does my control arm look correct? I do have an email to Ford Performance as well. By the way, Troy, I did order the MOOG outer tie rod ends.

Kevin Patten Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Harald, The lower control arm in the first pic is a 2011-2014 control arm. It will work just fine. It is an improved design. It's nice that it has the accommodations for the heat shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice that it has the accommodations for the heat shields. It looks like he got the later version than what the M-3075-E states: The original equipment on 2007, 2008 and 2009 Shelby GT500s, these Ford Performance Front Lower Control Arms will fit all 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 V6 and GT Mustangs as a direct fit upgrade. One would assume the balljoints are 19mm on the newer arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARALD KELLEY Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Just FYI, for others doing this upgrade. If you order they will most likely look like what I got: Prior to Albino's response I had inquired with Ford Performance and they just emailed me back. Ford Performance confirmed the LCA's are correct. See email response below: Harald: Those are the correct M-3075-E control arms. There was a slight change in the way they are fabricated. The web-site picture is of the original style fabrication. They are correct for your 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARALD KELLEY Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 The lower control arms Ford Performance M-3075-E, Moog tie rod ends and Shelby caster camber plates are installed. What a difference. The steering is tight and precise. No additional noise using the caster camber plates. Old ball joints were sloppy at 41K. Thanks to Jim & Kevin (Albino500) at Pinnacle Performance Motorsports for the install & alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Glad to hear it is working out well. I'm especially happy to hear that you have no additional noise from the camber plates! Congratulations. These factory parts really suck - what a shame they aren't made to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice that it has the accommodations for the heat shields. For the larger 19 mm ball joints do the spindles have to be opened (drilled) or replaced with the newer parts? I've seen varying reports that they have to be drilled out or the stockers will work since they are split open on one side and clamp down on the ball joint with the bolt. I did confirm with Ford racing that the 3075-E arms are the newest spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 You do not need to drill out the spindles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARALD KELLEY Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 As Albino stated the newer 3075-E does not require any modification/drilling etc. this was also conveyed by FP as I was curious about the newer upgraded design when I received them.
