Help! Right side lower control arm removal - Toyota Yaris Forums

myfirstyota · 12-27-2018, 11:43 AM

I had that problem during my 2zr swap. Put the engine back in before the control arm then couldn't get the control arm bolt in. I ended up lowering the subframe a bit. Backed the bolts out a bit on the left side and completely removed the right side bolts while supporting the subframe with a jack. That gave me enough room to get the front control arm bolt in. That was easy for me cause I already had the subframe out and knew the bolts wouldn't give me any problems.

Why did you remove the control arms for your swap?
