succesfully changed my control arms today

i just got done about an hour ago. it wasnt too bad of a job. the only thing that sucked was the fact that my drivers side cv boot was torn so it was all dirty under the there. and on the passenger side i found that i have an oil leak so it was dirty as hell on that side too. i just wanted to share that with everybody, i was pretty happy with the results and the money i saved. i can really feel how the eibachs and tokicos fully help my handling.

Yeah they're not too bad to do, I had a problem on my passenger side though, the rear bushing sleeve was rusted to the bolt and I couldn't slide it out. So, out came the propane torch, I melted off the bushing while twisting the sleeve, about 30 min later it was all out! Fun stuff, that burning rubber!

i had to burn the old bushings off on both sides too. i think that was the funnest part of the job. i wish i could have had more bushings to burn. i like fire.
