Suspension DIY

Anyone have a DIY for lower (f/r) control arms, (r)toe arms, (r) upper control arms. I don't have to, but I thought it would be fun to give it a go on my own. Looks pretty straight forward from underneath the car. Only looks like I'll have to remove the rear sway to get to the rear toe arm.


Thanks in advance.

You should be good. I did my rear dogs bones fews weeks ago. I did them one at a time and measured them. (ERP)

As for the the rear. Disconnect the sway bar for access. It also relieves some preload on the suspension.

You might need a ball joint separator or pickle fork.

Let us know how it goes!

Good luck!

+1 it is pretty obvious what to do when you get in there! May want to do a toe locking kit that replaces the eccentric. I just turned the eccentric all the way to the inside of the car so it won't move...

Lowers, may be some work... Uppers and toe links are pretty easy.
