16:40 Instead of trying to install the spring and the control arm at the same time, try the following: 1) Support the rear axle with jack 2) Disconnect both struts from the axle 3) Lower/raise axle as needed to install both lower control arms 4) Move the jack to one of the sides of the axle and raise it up - this will cause the other side to lower. When the other side is low enough, install the spring on that side. 5) Lower the jack so the other side will raise up, putting that spring into position. 6) Repeat the process on the other side with the jack, raise that side to lower the other side, and install the spring. 7) Move the jack back the diff, raise it as needed to reinstall the struts.

For the record: The rear spring pig tail ends are supposed to point towards the driver's quarter panel, both springs. Otherwise the car won't sit at the intended ride height. Great video brother, I've been subscribed for quite some time, hopefully you've picked up a couple of battery impacts & an 18" long 3/8's or 1/2" hand ratchet to make your life easier by now.

All 4 bolts in my lower control arms were seized to the inner sleeve. No amount of muscle, breaker bar or impact gun action was going to work. I used a recip saw with a diamond blade to cut the bolts out. Each cut took 20 minutes. Pretty sure my arms are still vibrating. Since the rubber bushing was pressed up against the mounting surface, this meant I was cutting somewhat through the rubber too. That made a huge mess - rubber everywhere - and because of the friction from the blade, burning rubber smoke and smell.

You should have used four jack stands two to support the body of the car and two to support the rear axle this would have made your life a lot easier

Yep. I know this is a year old but I'm going to comment anyway. I'm about to order NEW factory rear lower control arms for my foxbody. I've lived with these exact Maximum Motorsports arms for almost 20 years. They are incredibly harsh and squeaky. I know the guys at MM and they make great stuff. But when you add urethane and aluminum bushings to suspension parts it's not good for a non raced daily driver. I had factory arms/bushings for the first 10 years of this cars life and raced it every weekend with no trouble. Us old guys didn't have fancy parts at first with these cars. I bought mine new and still drive it. Going back to factory will hurt nothing. One thought....IF you could buy brand new rubber bushings for the MM arms like in this vid, I'd do that and keep them. But you can't. Excellent video nonetheless. Dude is good to listen to!

@@waynestinyworldI’m having problems with my current control arms right now, but they seem to be aftermarket, like a swivel/bearing instead of a bushing. I’m most likely going to replace them to a bushing control arm instead and maybe that fixes my problem. Do you recommend getting some like these, going oem, or getting the same type it has right now?

HA! Yeah, it was a lot of work to get that control arm in there backwards.

Well, considering that I initially put them in backwards, it took me a couple days to figure some things out. I would definitely give yourself 4-6 hours. If you have a power angled socket wrench, that can save you a lot of time (I didn't have one).

Thanks! It was, but it would be much less of a headache if I had to do it a second time.

Alright, alright! I still have it. I've been working on another couple videos, but I've been busy trying to pay the bills. The time will come. A sneak peak at what is to come is how I shredded my Nittos twice and how I fixed it.
