How hard is it to replace the lower control arm? Would I have to remove the brakes or anything? Im replacing the upper control arm, coil spring, spring perches and was wodnering how much harder it would be to do the lower. I just installed new brakes, rotors, bearings and brake line and would rather not have to take them off and replace them again. :shrug:

Thanks,
Jim
 
The lower control arms are easy to change. All you have to do is remove the nut attaching the lower ball joint and the cam bolt at the control arms other end and arm will come right out. The upper and lower control arms both attach to the spendal so I guess you'll just have to do one at a time so that you have one holding the spendal in place while you change the other.

Have Fun!
