Is your car a Handle Pack car, or no? I find it strange that the MACH1 wouldn't have these, as my 2017 PP1 GT didIt’s an oft repeated myth that Mach 1’s come with the Ford Performance toe link bearings, but they do not. I installed the toe link bearing upgrade to the rear knuckles and upgraded the rear wheel studs to ARP studs (1/2” longer than stock). I was able to remove the toe bushings easily with the ball joint press on the car but could not get the toe bearings to press in or keep them straight on the car. At that point I decided to just pull the knuckles since I would be most of the way there in order to remove the hubs to install the studs. The bearings and knuckle bore were a ~0.013” interference fit, but the press made it infinitely easier. Towards the end of pressing them in it took quite a bit of load from the press. I doubt the red loctite Ford calls for is necessary. I also have zero doubt that on my car there is no way a ball joint press could get these suckers installed completely. It seems this varies for a lot of installers. Just waiting on AAD vertical links to arrive so I can reassemble.
Fun fact: axle nut on passenger side fought me all the way coming off until the last couple threads. The brake caliper to knuckle bolts did the same on the passenger side. Drivers side: the axle nut and calipers were no issue.
