The 2 bolt arms, although easier to remove and install are a worse design than the 4 bolt arms. Ford even went back to the 4 bolt arms with later Cougar production because of this.

The 2 bolt design puts undue stress on the bushings and causes them to fail prematurely. When they do go, the A arms flop around-not a good situation.

If you have a choice go with the 4 bolts. Eventually, I'll have replacement bushings for them.
