Check out my Ride(s)
Default Rear Upper Control Arms

I also noticed the rear upper control arm bushes were starting to rip apart
So I ordered a pair of complete arms from our favourite supplier Febest for under $100

The right hand side is pretty straight forward
But the left hand side has fuel tank in the way


There is enough slack in the fuel pipes and wiring
to lower the fuel tank 6 inches to get at that front bolt


The middle sidestep bracket had to be removed too


And someone put a stoopid spring in the way too
(Put the bolts back in the other direction)


If your suspension is lifted like mine,
then the original length arms won't line up


I had the entire weight of the car on the diff housing
Just to push the diff into the right position to install the bolts
Glad I'm not doing this job in the carport
