Idler arm question

I have the rebuild kit but my question is can I do this off the ramps or do I need to jack the car up and get the load off the front end? As always Thanks for the help!

It is not necessary to take the load off the front end. But I don't see how it would be possible to replace without the front end raised. I did mine on ramps. (Silicone grease will be your friend for the installation of the new bushing. )

Thanks

Yep I was hoping to get it done off the ramps! Not too bad of a fix. I'll see how it goes in the morning.
