There is a used BS OB Area 51 at this dealer , couldn't see a price on it . The Area 51 Bronco in the show room was $ 60 K , the wife sat in it & liked it , but it wasn't for sale & when it does go on sale the already have a list .

the saga continues , the dealer doesn't have a special tool to remove the Bushing from the Control arm , they are ordering a complete control arm with the Bushings .

It must be some kind of Puller to press the Bushing off & on ,they show it on their manual & a note it is needed to do the job , they don't have the tooling & since our BS is the first to need this replacement ,Ford has not supplied this tooling or tool to just replace the Bushing .

Whats strange is, they say they will have the complete Control arm by Monday,

Bet I could get it out, though you might not be able to use the control arm afterwards...

That was probably their reasoning also . I've seen all kinds of ways a Bushing can be attached , so the proper tools may be needed . I just got another Text saying it will be longer then anticipated , they are conversing with Ford or something . Maybe Ford wants them to buy the Tool & not order a Control Arm , which may be back ordered , who knows ?

As lang as its fixed correctly , I don't care . I trust this Dealer . Do what's right .

Took the BS in today to have the Control Arm Replaced , with all new Bushings installed & new hardware . I had them shuttle me home & I think they were done by 1400 hrs., I also made it clear that I wanted the alignment checked & they did , gave me a print out showing after install , it was out of Spec & it looks like they made adjustments & its near perfect .

Driving home on the highway trying keep up with the wife in the BS , she was going in & out of traffic , I had to laugh ,because It must have been running good , & she was testing it . She said it tracks & rolls like new , which it is in a way , but she said at 80 mph , she could let go of the Steering Wheel , something she said, couldn't do before , good job to Bozard Ford , St Augustine , fl. & Ford Motor Co. , the wife is happy , I'm happy . LOL

On that Gray Boot for the Brake Peddle Master cylinder Piston Rod looks like it has oil drip on it where the shaft comes through , can't get it blown up enough to see for sure . I say this because brake fluid can leak from that shaft seal on the master cylinder , just a guess .
