just to add though, when i fitted the new arms, i did buy new nuts and bolts from ford, and the nuts is a locktight nut. i chopped a few threads off the top of the bolt that is fitted upside down, before i fitted it, so it doesnt stick up to far, and isnt to close to the gearbox. its common practise for most to do it this way, and, pretty much every garage do it this way aswel, bar ford, as it is a lot quicker, and cheaper, to do it with the bolt upside down. iirc, the MK6 escort is the same
