Went to go get an alignment last week and they wouldnt do my alighment on my kar... said my driver side lower control arm was bent and needed to be replaced. so i plan on getting the part and replacing it myself., i dont think it will be that hard but i havent took a look at it yet. just wondering any1 have any tips or a link to a DIY for replacing the DIY??or does any1 know how hard it would be?

If you can install coilovers, you can replace the lower control arm. Will require air tools though.

3 bolts (I think, just going off of memory)

Bolt connecting arm to frame
Lower shock fork
Where it connects to knuckle

also you need a ball joint remover tool...

For the lower ball joint? Its connected to the knuckle, not the control arm. Remove the castle nut and you should be able to knock it loose.

damn air tools? dont got any : (, guess i gotta hit up troy

 

[Dinzdale40]

air tools might not necessarily be needed...i didn't need any but just make sure you get all the bolts loose before you start really taking stuff apart that way if you get stuck you can retighten one or two bolts and go somewhere with air tools to help....

i don't use air tools alot...im good at finding ways to get leverage without having to resort to them....
