Instructions for replacing front lower control arm?
Anyone have any instructions for replacing the front lower control arms? I am assuming it just requires unbolting the obvious bolts/nuts and removing, then installing new one and aligning. Not sure if there's anything special I need to know.

I don't think loading with the weight of the car will make much (if any) difference on the torqueing of nuts and bolts. Maybe it's a precaution to prevent pulling the vehicle off of an un-stable jack stand - just my guess, sorry!

Not lexus related but anytime I worked on suspension of any other cars, I was always told to make sure to tighten the bolts to the correct torque spec once you load the suspension with the weight of the car so I assume that is what it means here.
