I can tell you on the driver's side rear nut, do not drop it! There is a hole in the frame right under it. If you drop it in the hole, it could be hell to get out. I've done it, and it aint fun.

well i used the write up in the tech section it is under replacing ball joints. I do recommend 10 inches in ratchet extensions and an air ratchet. It makes things faster and less tedious and thanks also goes out to my cousin Jason. It helps to have a person hold the arms in while you put the bolts through. CHris |

I have to say, when I replaced mine, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. But, I have the air tools available. I didn't even take out the battery tray. But, I did take out the air box. The driver's side back one was the hardest one to get to. So I did that side first and getting the holes lined up wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The bushings fit it snug enough to hold itself in place for me to line up the hole and put the bolt in. Not too big of a deal. Air Tools are definitely recommended.

Cool. Thanks for the tips. I'll be doing both uppers and lowers, so it should be interesting. |
