Control arms

Rosco · 04-12-2005, 07:03 PM

I just bought a parts mustang, and I am going to be pulling the southside upper and lowers off the car and installing them on mine. I was wondering how much of a task i am going to be looking at? I have had yet to deal with control arms.. thanks

you may need to replace the front bolts on the lowers mine were deteriorating (the bolts that hold the lowers to the car not the axle) and it is def an all day affair on jackstands imo just take your time and youll be alright

and make sure you reinstall your springs facing the same dir as they were when you removed them both sides the same dir also
