What a walk in the park..... my upper bolts were 100% seized..... I had to cut everything up to get them out, using both a sawzall with carbide metal cutting blade as well as my 4 1/2 angle grinder with a cutting blade. Took many, many hours of trial and error. Even tried heating with mapp gas. A cutting torch would have been the preferable method, but I'm not a welder......

We were lucky that none of the bolts were seized. You must live in the north where that use a lot of salt on the roads in the winter. Thanks for watching

How was the ride after replacement? I don’t know which brand to go with

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

No different that the stock parts.

[@Lsxrida]

How much was this kit? Or can you post the link please. Thanks

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

Go to 1aauto.com That's where I got the kit. Thanks for watching

Is it a lot harder to go ahead and replace the lower arms as well? Or easier to press the bottoms out?

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

I think its easier to replace the ball joint because the you don't have to get the torsion bar out that is jammed in the lower control arm. Thanks for watching

At what angle should the caster camber regulators be on top control arm

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

If you still have the plastic inserts that came in it with I would put them back in. Then get it realigned.
