the control arm bolts can be a PITA. do yourself a favor. do the lower controlling arm bolts first. and still be prepared the beat them out of there. SOAK them in PB blaster. i can almost bet yours will be the same as mine were and the selve rusted to the bolt. ( heat helps )

Beasty306GT · Nov 23, 2008
