To replace the control arms on a Ford Aspire, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheels for access. Disconnect the ball joint and the mounting bolts securing the control arm to the chassis and subframe. Once the old control arm is removed, install the new control arm by reversing the disassembly process, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reattach the wheels and lower the vehicle, then perform a wheel alignment to ensure proper handling.

In a 1995 Ford Aspire, the valve lifters are located within the engine's cylinder head, beneath the rocker arms and above the camshaft. To access them, you'll need to remove the valve cover and possibly the rocker arms. The lifters are typically hydraulic and sit in their respective bores directly in the head, allowing for the adjustment of valve clearance as the engine operates.

I got a quote for $1300 to replace the bushings on both sides on my 1993 S15. Its very involved to get the control arms off and then the bushings have to be removed and installed with a machine press. It turned out to be cheaper to replace the control arms myself for $250 in parts.

My Haynes repair manual ( 1991 thru 2001 Ford Explorer ) shows on 1995 and newer that the balljoints on upper and lower control arms are not removable or serviceable . If a balljoint is damaged or worn , replace the control arm . ( my Chilton repair manual also shows the same information )
