Question lower control arm help

hey fellow members,

was just wondering if there is any write ups on how to replace the front lower control arms? Also is $400 to get the lower control arms replaced a reasonable price? thanks to anyone that can help.

Not a lot of people have done it because you have to Loosen or remove the front sub Frame to get the Lower control arm out. I have not done it myself but have seen what it takes to get one out.
You should try and do it yourself it probably wont be that difficult. its just nuts and bolts
