Hey All,
I've got a set of Upper and lower control arms on the way I was wondering if anyone here has installed them and if they were hard to do?
Seeing's how I did the springs in my car would this be somthing I could do in the Garage with some power tools and Jack stands and my trusty Floor jack!

I just installed some a month or two ago. The uppers are very easy and the lowers aren't bad either. I did them with just basic tools. The instructions are pretty straight forward.

since you did your springs you shouldnt have any problem installed them. worst part is getting the bushing out of the upper control arm mounts. other than that you'll have no problem

Yeah, it is all easy except for the bushing on the differential housing. It will take most of your time to do this part.

I just dropped the whole thing since I did both sets and installed gears at the same time. I dropped the whole thing in about an hour using my custom made axle support. It was just some lumber pieces that I had around that I screwed together to cradle the housing. I just bolted it to my floor jack. It really made the job easy.
