First thing, safely lift the car and remove both from tires.

Left side before disassembly. Having a lift and the correct tools sure makes the job easier.

The two caliper bolts were removed and the caliper was hung out of the way using zip ties. The upper control arm was removed from the spindle along with the lower and the spindle was set aside.

It is a good idea to replace the outer tie rod ends. They were destroyed removing them with the hammer fork tool. I was good with the replacement at $23 ea., also Moog brand.

The drivers side aft or rear upper control arm bolt can be difficult to remove and replace. Frank and Tracy were able to tag team the installation, Tracy had to grab the spring and move it slightly while Frank inserted the bolt. The passenger side springs is seated 180 degrees opposite from the drivers side and bolts were easier to remove and replace. Great Job Guys!!!
