ok well i finally got them these bastards out it took a busted right eye brow and about an hour to an hour and 15 each to get them out, so about 2 hours and a teaspoon of blood each. anyway, I sent my friend to the local ford dealership while i was at work and she gave me a paper that the guy wrote down how much it would cost and the p/n. I thought maybe 30 dollars for four bolts and nuts. They wanted $80.28 for four ****ing nuts and bolts!!!!!! WTF! does that sound right?!?! IF it does holy ****. If you got them a lot cheaper please let me know where you got them. thanks. 80.28 for bolts god damn!

I got my upper control arm bolts at Walker Hardware, its a small local store. I get all my the nuts and bolts I need there because its a lot easier than trying to get them at Home Depot or Lowe's. So just go to your local hardware store and get them, I got grade 8 bolts for mine. Ace Hardware should have them too if thats what is local for you.

Go to a hardware store and get grade 8 bolts in the size and thread you need. Shouldn't be very expensive.
