Default Control arm replacement

Need to replace my lower control arms on the left front of my 96 A4. How involved is it for the DIY person. Thanks

Its a really simple job. The only downfall is that you might have to drop the subframe a bit to clear the back bolt. But you can just loosen the bolts for the frame and drop it you dont have to pull it out. Ball joint may be a pain might want to have a pickle fork handy.

Like stated before.
Its a straight forward job.
Just unbolt everything and replace.
The only thing you will need to lower the subframe to be able take the rear bolts out.
