Changed my control arms 2008 sedan
Just wanted to make a quick post. I changed both my control arms the other day, everything went smoothly, except for having to run over to O'Reillys for a ball joint separator, didn't have it, then Harbor freight to buy one for $20ish. Conveniently HF was on my way back to the house. Popped the joints just fine and figured smooth sailing now, then one of bolts required me to lift the transmission a bit to pull out, easy enough. The engine side decided not to cooperate, so I had to pull the engine side mount in order to lift the engine out of the way.
Everything considers, oversights, it went much better than I expected. I'd already done all my motor mounts before, so pulling the engine mount wasn't much trouble. Probably took me about 3? hrs overall, including driving. Could probably redo it in less than an hour now. Parts used: MEVOTECH CMS86139 and CMS86138. |
