Default RE: upper fron control arm ???????????

Look under the hood and take out the three green stut bolts, then loosen the nut on the bottom of the strut. Once its loose you can bring down the whole assembly and swing it outwards towards you to gain access to the upper control arm bolts. You also have to release the tie rod end from the steering arm. This method will save you about an hour of taking the strut in and out.
