Replacing Control Arm (strut)
Gentlemen,
I am replacing some of the remaining rear suspension. On the control arm strut (tie rod) there appears to be a type of a ball joint going into the wheel carrier and the strut won't come out. How do you extract it and then install the new one?? Can it be done without a special tool? If not what tool do I need. Also I understand that the rear suspension components, the bolts need to be tightened when the suspension is under load i.e. the axle is horizontal. I have the rear end of the car on jacks. I had made a reference mark as to where the center point of the axle would be if the wheels were on the ground. My plan was to use a floor or bottle jack under the differential or control arms to bring the axle to the same horizontal mark. I would appreciate any comments from those who have replaced the suspension on this plan. Thanks. JIm 92 300E |
