I just did the drivers side upper control arm earlier tonight, I could not believe this car drove straight down the road with the bushing and ball joint so worn out.

Thank you Diesel Giant for the DIY, first job I've done without cussing... much

Wow, looks better repaired!

I'm planning on an entire front end rebuild next weekend hopefully. I'm glad to see this went well for you.

if you've never done it, have a prybar near by...

I just did the passenger side today, I would say the whole job took about an hour and a half. Yes a pry bar is VERY useful, also a jack to raise and lower the arm. Make sure you get the right size pickle fork, mine was in there good lol
