Good idea. Im doing control arms next and will do the same thing.

 

Whenever I do suspension parts I like to hit all the bolts with penetrating oil that I plan on removing the night before I plan on doing the work. Let everything soak overnight, then hit them again in the morning a few hours before I get started. Helps a ton!

 

Gotta love California! (sometimes...) with 130k miles and stock control arms/TREs everything came off no problem without any penetrating liquid or heat or force, etc.

Good luck with your control arms, Sheasta.

 

ahh looks like im doing my control arms this weekend. Parts just arrived. Wohoo!

 

Did u order from fcp groton?

 

Naw from ECS... I got the package but I found out that I have missing hardware. I called them and they said their vendor will ship me a new hardware kit. Looks like i'm gonna have to wait till next weekend.

The control arm kit is only $230

 

Hmm then for an extra $23 should I get the ecs kit instead of fcp I wonder.

 

i got the fcp, it was perfect had all the bolts and quality was there didn't feel like a tooth pick. Plus they don't bend you over backwards and spank you on shipping.
