rear lower control arm install

[PAintballa45]

Anybody have any words of wisdom for doing this? seems pretty straight forward but just seeing if theres any tricks out there that make things easier

A ball joint separator, breaker bar, LOTS of Pb Blaster, gloves and a $hit load of patience haha. A beer or 5 helps too!

big azz breaker bar, gloves, pb blaster. yep. pretty straightforward

all of the bolts came off relativley easy (soaked in pb all day). Also found out that I bent my traction rod and toe arm going to have to remove part of the upper control arm and gas neck i think, theres no room for the bolts to slide out. But yeah pb and breakerbar combo is going pretty smooth.

Theres also minor subframe damage to the rear lower control arm mount to the "hood" (upper part of the mount) that im leaving to my body shop to spot weld, ill post pictures in a minute, always looking for second opinions on this kind of stuff

I have been trying to get mine off for a while. Last night I took off the strut and sway bar. When I try to reach the bolt on the top of the joint (22mm), the axle is kind of in the way. Any tips on how you got it off. I called a suspension place & I was quoted $180 because of how "labor intensive" the job is. Any info word be great, because I want to save the $180 for 30mm callipers
