My H-Sport control arms are supposed to come in today, just wondering how hard they are to install. I would think not that difficult. Any insight??

 

Now here's the voice of reason! I've never done this mod, but lookin' at the issue I don't think it will be that big of a deal. Just place jack stands so that lots of "things" don't move around and go for the gussto! I how that this wasn't much help, but think of the whole experience as an adventure!
P.S. I'm sure that someone must have posted a "how to" somewhere. Good luck and then teach the reat of us what not to do!

Opps sorry about the double post. Early brain deadness...

 

This ranks very low on the difficult mod scale.

 

Bolf off, bolt on. Easy as pie.

 

It's real easy if you know the right tool combo...

 

haha the tools being...you and me? hahaha.

Sorry, I'm not buying your control arms, mine are here and pretty and they are staying with me haha.

 

upper = harder Access to the inner bolts on the top is a PITA. It's just a little bit of work on the lowers.

I had mine done at a shop as an optional thing while getting the alignment I wanted (only if needed). Apparently my car was a PITA and it took them a couple of hours. Not sure if I could have done it quicker myself as I'm a fairly competent shadetree mechanic, but it was nice not to have to deal with it.

 

I didn't have too much trouble installing the lower control arms on my car. The inner bolts are a little tricky to get to, but having a universal-joint swivel socket adaptor helps. Also, after I used a 3/8" ratchet to break the bolts loose, switching over to a smaller/thinner 1/4" ratchet made removing them the rest of the way easier.

 

Not hard at all.

 

Done .

Wasn't hard at all.

 

Glad it went well. I swapped out my IE links (all 4) for SPC links (all 4) this morning. Took me 2 hours from clean to clean. Also found an exhaust heat shield rattle...

 

It was far simpler then installing the springs and rear sway bar
