850 lower control arm replacement 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be marty on  Thu Aug 25 13:30 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Jackb's info is right on the money. Without a ball joint splitter and sledge hammer, getting the old one apart can sometimes be nearly impossible... even with them, it can often be a nuisance.

You need to get a bit more info about how to torque the new control arm... the final torqueing of the pivot points should be done with the suspension loaded, not with the wheels hanging, and it should be done to the proper torque spec... not a "guesstimate".

Good luck

Marty
