Stock LCA's aluminum?

[speed1972]

I replaced my upper and lower LCA's this weekend and when I pulled out the uppers I found they were aluminum. I thought ford made this out of steel. Did they ever do this or did I have a set of FRPP uppers?

thanks,
Larry

They are stamped steel, just like the frpp's.

so then what's the difference? They look identical to the stock ones

Are you sure they're aluminum? Stick a magnet to them and see if it sticks. FRPP's HD UCAs are steel, not aluminum in any event.

I bought them, and according to frpp, the bushings are twice as stiff as stock. Besides that, they look identical.
