Re: front lower control arm?

As stsated, you don't have an upper control arm. - Only a lower and a strut.

Re: front lower control arm?

If your taking it out your self a spring compression tool would be very nice cause if you knock out the lower ball joint that spring can go flying and do some serious damage. other wise its pretty easy taking a lower control arm out as long the bolts arent frozen
