Oh yeah I almost forgot, you will need to get an alignment and to remove the upper control arm bolt you will have to remove the washer tank. Its really easy, if need any help or have any question let me know I just did this job and it rather easy.

Mine had 12 years of rust and I didnt have a single issue what so ever. I sprayed PB Blaster 3 straight days before doing the job and just used my breaker bar and all was good.

I wish. Check for my thread in this forum from the last week or two; my rear bolt on the driver's side was rusted in so hard that I had to grind it out. Turned a three hour project into a four day project.
