Hey guys I want to remove my hicas from my 91 and I had a question. Now yes I did search a lot and found many helpful liinks but the help was all scattered so I was wondering if you guys can give me alist of eveything that I will need. I don't want to use a bar or anything I want to completly remove it. Please leave me a list of all the parts needed thank you. A list of everything from toe or tie rods (whichever) ,tubes to pump or whatever, i need everything im going to need to buy to do this swap. Thank you

If you want it all gone then you gotta get a subframe from a 240 without it, but I doubt you'd find one.

Well its not like the pump and tubes are going to hurt anything so just cap them off at the ends.

Questions you can't search aint stupid.. I'm pretty sure you'd just need the subframe.

imo..
it would be alot easier to change the entire subframe assmbly instead of arm by arm swapping it over to the new one. if your going to do that might as well use upgraded multilink and/or press new bushings into all the arms. since its already apart...
