Front Lower Control Arm.
Ive been reading and it seems like this could be an easy job to replace my front driver's side lower control arm. Have any of you guys done this? Any special tools or tips?
thanks yOooO!!!! |
and ive searched and searched. and i have my flame suit ready just in case.
|
its like installing your springs straight forward, just remember to torque it down to specs and you will need an alignment after
|
do i have to take off my shock? or is it just straight unbolt and replace and bolt back up?
|
unbolt it from the botom its pretty straight forward, i did it on my gli after understeering and hydroplaning into a curb
|
ya, long story short i hit a curb. so i need to replace my LCA, then get it alligned huh? and thanks mike : )
iluvyou |
no pro it happened to me when i was 17 i was fuckin hualing ass late to school take a turn in my neigborhood and unexpected water +slick tires =60+ turn i understeered into a curb
|
damn did u have to replace anything else... and i guess im lucky i hit only at 15 mph.
|
i only had to change lower control arm and buy a new rim, cause my tsws i had on there blew up on contact haha
|
damn that sucks haha, you should of bought one of those "wire rims" like that other thread haha,
and lucky me no damage to rims or anything, i guess it was so cooled out the just slight impact and my LCA just snappeed. whatevssss though. hahah :fruit: |
haha shit happens
|
HAHAHa i was about to say that, i think im gonna buy a sticker "drift happens" and put it at a 45 degree angle where my bumper got scratched
|
if shits not happpening your not pushing your car hard enough, thats what i told nikko when he failed and understeered and scraped his re amemiya lip on the 8 haha
|
SHITTTT!!! haha ya man i have the authtentic lip and i fucked it up.. it sucks but HELLA HYPHY DGAFlol
|

|
So how do you know its the lower controll arm and how do you know its bent?
|

|
i had some of my mechanic friends come over and said it pretty much snapped but everything else looks good : )
