Im trying to remove lower control arm and replace the bushings in control arm pin.Question 1 does anyone have a copy of fig.9 page 6-6 ? My book I got with the car has that photo ripped in half.Im hoping that lower control arm is not threaded like i see upper is becouse i could remove nut on back side of control arm but the front would not move. Question 2 control arm pin seams to have to washers welded to control arm holding the bushings in, is this normal or will i understand when i see photo. thanks for your help frozen rick in ky

    It's been a while since I took mine apart last, can't really recall. But here's an exploded pic from the online parts microfiche at www.gcp.se that might be of help:


    To the best of my recollection, the bottom pivot is threaded, just like the top. The picture seems top back that up.

      Hello,

      After removing the spring, you have to remove the 3 bolts that hold the 2 piece lower control arm together.

      Then remove the 2 nuts on the inboard bracket to remove the 2 halves of the lower control arm from the bracket.

      2 pointers on installation:

      Do not forget to install new grease seals for the lower pivot(the large suspension bolt with flat coarse threads) if they are damaged.

      Pay attention to the spacing where the seals go while you installing the lower pivot bolt. It is important that the threaded bushing in bottom of the spindle is centered between the 2 threaded bungs in the outer edge of each control arm halves.
