one time use fasteners
since installing my bmr lcas over a year ago there has been different noises on and off, no squeaking noises. i never bought new fasteners even though ford says they are one time use, does anyone have the part number for these.. is it just the bolts that hold the lca into the bracket?

RE: one time use fasteners
One time use fasteners are ones which are not to be trusted after they've been stretched by the first useage as they invariably relay false torque information back to the torque wrench.
A lot of people do reuse them of course, it's human nature to want to save a few bucks on things which still look brand new. I've done it myself in non-saftely related areas. Anyway, you won't be getting noises or squeaks from these items anyway, unless they are tragically undertorqued (to the point of them being loose) so it's not them that's cauing it.. |

They are an interference fit fastnermore than a yeild to torque fastner on the suspension. A little blue loctite and you are in busisness in the reuse department. ;) |
