Thanks Larry I saved that and printed it off. That is the spring project and Chip has convinced me to do the steroids!
Oh I feel my knuckles hurting already. Maybe I should do it now in the below zero weather so the blood does no flow as fast......

I have posted this before, but will repeat. We stock rebuilt front control arms on an exchange basis. We sell them with our front end rebuild kit or separately. Then you can do the whole project in one day. And I will repeat what several people have said. CHAIN DOWN THE SPRING! It is almost always safe to remove, but once in a while, it can kill you.
