With Ford suspensions, do not even bother with anyone who isn't confident in what they are doing and can't tell you "no problem."
My torsion bar Explorer only needed the cam bolts after the shop at work mangled some of the original hardware in their failed attempt to replace the control arms. Once it was clear that I may as well have brought a Space Shuttle in, I took it to a reputable shop with a full set of cam bolts I got from O'Reilly's. They were SPC brand and seemed well made and came with instructions. That Explorer is now probably the best handling Ford truck I have ever owned, has perfectly even tire wear, and just drives great, but it would have the original bolts if I took it to the reputable place the first time. My 02 coil spring Ranger loves the taste of ball joints/upper control arms, but is still on 100% original bolts, and it drives really good and has no issues. The torsion bar Explorer's handling is just another level of good though. Basically, you need a better suspension guy, the guy you got would be using the cam bolts as a bandaid, whereas a good guy would use them to make it perfect.
