Spin spin spin...The little stupid retaining clip for the world's shallowest carriage bolt snapped off.. grinded the bolt off and pulled it all out.<img src="https://imgur.com/a/WXm5DsY" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Realized the hole in the frame is square. So rolled the dice and went to home depot and grabbed a carriage bolt in hopes it would do.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/eT1KsRW.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Bingo worked like a charm.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/lXojPTk.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Not sure why ford went the shallow carriage bolt/retaining clip route but oh well that's buttoned up.Got my bumpster kit off the old rack and onto the new rack<img src="https://i.imgur.com/dWnZLPG.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/8MSI1Ow.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/STqwqpN.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Popped off the old dust covers just out of curiosity and found some grossness<img src="https://i.imgur.com/1nNLzxC.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Then took a look at the old dust covers themselves and I'm not sure how this happens but I'm sure it didn't help the life of the rack lol<img src="https://i.imgur.com/x2m2DNM.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Front end is just waiting on the hubs (forgot to pick them up from the shop before then weekend so I'll grab them tomorrow)And then the rack goes in<img src="https://i.imgur.com/tBvE1jt.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Next I tackled the RLCAs, pass side went fine.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/IGp7v6E.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Then on the drivers side I couldn't find the front mounting point nut in the frame... wierd.. grabbed the bolt on the other side and sure enough its loose, pulled straight out... it was never bolted in.. YIKES.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/iRcUa8A.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Would explain why the rear end would kick/walk out under acceleration though.. amazed the bolt stayed put for however long that wasnt tightened down!!</blockquote>
