These puppies are an easy swap right? Atleast I think so....I am going to be swapping my in the next week or two and want to hear if there is anything i shoudl be concerned about when doing them (ie only do one side at a time etc)

Thanks

 

Hey Dave. The only real thing I think will cause a problem is rusty bolts. Give them a really good lubing and leave them sit for a 1/2 hour or so before wrenching on them. Are you replacing the whole arm, or just the bushings? If doing the arms just lube the bolts and do like you said one side at a time. Should be fairly easy, but these are cars after all so expect the unexpected.

Thanks man....that's sort of what i thought, I just wanted some re-assurance from others who may have done them in the past. I am replacing the arms and bushings, so I figure that is probably a lot easier than just the bushings since they are pressed in to the stock arms. I am not too concerned about the bolts since I will probably hit them with some Pen oil about a day before I do it and I will be doing it at my buddies shop so I will have access to Air tools and a torch if needed!

Thanks,
Dave

 

They are a very, very easy swap, just make sure you do one at a time, (dont remove both control arms because your rear end may rotate, making an easy job harder).

 

Must be one the easiest, and visually satisfying. (if you're putting on nice nright red ones!)

took me about 1/2 hour..
