Hi all, Newbie here
Driver side upper control arm rusted out. Plan on replacing the uppers on both sides. Already have new parts from RockAuto with the upper ball joints attached. I guess I should plan on breaking all bolts as I go.

Plan on loosening (breaking) torsion bar bolts, removing shocks, steering knuckle, and replacing the lower ball joints while I'm at it.

Did search and read all the threads on this forum. Kinda worried about the torsion bar and stabilzer bar and the 3 bolts that secure the upper control arm to the frame. Sprayed all with PB Blaster. Maybe heat, spray, heat, spray etc.

I'm dealing with a rust belt pick-up.

Any suggestions, cautions, safety concerns will help.

Thanks

Steve

 

PB blaster works great plus the olde impact wrench!
