Did lower control arms and lower control arm bushings yesterday. Going to TSS for alignment at 2 today. Rides like a beaut.

Bumper fell off tho LOL but it actually gained us way more clearance.


Pro tip: Get a 4lb sledge hammer and 5mm or 6mm Allen key. Hold the top of the stud with the Allen key, and use a 21mm wrench to get the nut off. A low profile ratcheting wrench would have been helpful. Then use that sledgehammer and wack the shit out of that ball joint till it comes loose.

Pretty easy job, aside from having to make 1/6th of a turn with a wrench. That took so long.
