I got the control arm all unbolted, its basically just sitting it place.
Now I'm not sure how to go about removing the thing. Does anyone have any insight on how to get it out? I wasn't able to attempt to because I need a hand from a buddy, but if any one has some ideas to remove the lower control arm from experience, that would be awesome.

well i got it out with the help of my dad lol. end up that nut holding the bolt in place behind the control arm was loose, so we had to drill a hole into it, put a screw into it to hold it in place and get the bolt out.... now I am guessing that I would have to do the same to tighten the bolt back and or weld it in place again -_-;;
turn a quick job into a few days work when things breaks, sucks This post has been edited by kamax: Aug 25, 2011 - 5:42 AM |

I couldn't figure out what was holding that bolt in.
