I am replacing the lower left control arm (48069-20290 - #6 on attached image) on my 95 GT once the correct part arrives; seems I was mistakenly sent a control arm for an earlier generation. The bolts have all been removed, including the stabilizer bar link (48820-33010 - #4 on second image).
Now all I have to do is remove the control arm and I need to know how much force I can apply without damaging any of the other suspension/steering componentry. How do I wrestle this bastard from the car?   Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. M Kalmus This post has been edited by mskalmus: Oct 19, 2015 - 3:36 PM |
