Upper & Lower control Arm install


How hard is it, Can I do it home with jack stands. Anyone got a link on directions how to. I am not machanic stupid. I think I can handle it, if I get some instructions. All help is welcome. Also to change the rear shocks, the back need will need to come off correct?

Thanks guys

You can definately get it done w/ a set of jack stands and a jack. The shocks are just a 2 bolt swap simple. When you do the uppers and lowers do 1 at a time. When doing the uppers be sure to replace the axle side bushings. Dont torque anything till you have it sitting at ride hight or youl get some binding. Otherwise its fairly easy just take your time, pick up a haynes or chilton to help you along. Good luck

what do you mean ride hight, just bolt everything on, drop the car then tighten up the bolts?
