Well, I now have in my hands the control arms repair kit and am trying to strategize how best to tackle the job. I'm looking for guidance from those who have actually done this job and can comment from experience whether it is reasonably doable to R&R one or two of these arms (to each side) due to the time I have available to work on it. I have a garage/shop to work in where it will be done without a lift other than the standard floor lift and jack stands/concrete blocks. I can't simply take it apart and leave it there for days on end. As slow as I work, there's no way I see this being a 'start-to-finish-without-coming-up-for-air' project so I'm trying to figure the best approach.


This afternoon, I may take the time to get under there and apply more penetrating solution to all the connections - which I have done twice in the past 10 days. Might go ahead and try loosening some of them to see how easy/difficult they are going to be. All in all I'm looking for more good advice (and encouragement!) such as that from lsmalley and others!
