Thanks for this video about removing and installing new Upper and Lower Control arms. The information I learned from this video has helped me learn how to change out the control arms on my project car that I'm working on.

You are welcome. I am glad the video helped you.

Doing my 94. Bought a single 18mm gear wrench. $20 well spent.

Nice job but your coil spring is upside down that rubber garment on top goes to the top

[@OldGuyDIY]

Thank you. I sold the truck so I can't correct the situation now.

Can I just remove the lower control arm bolts and leave everything else connected so I can get access to the engine mount nuts that are under the frame?

[@adamlamkin558]

You would have to remove the shock and spring as well. Use a jack under the lower control arm as your taking it off to release tension from the spring.

[@OldGuyDIY]

I suspect yes but reinstalling the bolts will be a bear. Be sure to have jack stands under the frame so the vehicle does not fall on you.

[@zepa0840]

Do you know how many shims are supposed to be on each of the upper control arm bolts?

[@OldGuyDIY]

No. I suspect it varies by vehicle. If you take it to be aligned when you are done, the shop will add shims if they are needed.

[@zepa0840]

@@OldGuyDIY Ok thanks. I didn't know they were that easy to add.

[@OldGuyDIY]

You are welcome. They have a bucket of shims at alignment places and simply grab the ones the computer tells them they need.

How did you take off the pin
