Rear Lower Control Arm Install

Anyone done this? Looks like it is two bolts per side/arm.

Just wondering if there were any special tools needed (i.e. for the adjuster nut) or how to get to the bolts on the subframe.

Installed these today, took probably 30 minutes a side including taking off the wheel.

In your first picture, it looks like your jack stand is holding up your tire

Looks good

Thanks guys! I will definitely be getting a proper alignment this week. After the spring install, I knew LCAs would be necessary to get the alignment back to spec, so I waited to align, just a week or two. So now that they are on, I will be going to a good alignment shop to get it fixed up.
