Need bushing, so even if arm is bent, ok. But good one ok also.

Cuda, you should contact X2 Collision in Maryville, IL (by St. Louis). Check their e-bay listings. He is parting out several cars.

Are they still available new from the dealer/warehouse?

 

[fjpikul]

Not billet ones.

Not billet ones.

I would guess that the manufacturer of the billet version still has the program in his CNC. Was it Roush? I would think they would pump out a few if the demand was there. :confused

The part has to come from Ford. No new billet in the pipeline. They own the rights. Just like gauges and headlights.

Just for kicks, can one be machined?

 

[2112]

I would have to believe so. CNC machining has made cutting easy. Knowing the metallurgy well enough to know what is required for the starting stock is probably the hardest part.

Has anyone posted a picture of the arm, stand alone outside a car?

Whomever would do this would assume liability for the part, including testing. Ford got it wrong on the first batch, that's why some of us have billet, so it's not an easy thing.

Liability is only a concern while the company producing them is still in business. Wouldn't be the 1st time questionable after market parts are sold and when the 1st problem arises the company goes bankrupt, if not before.

That said, with the right materials and computer modeling a safe A arm can be produced.
