Helpful Trick for Passenger Front Control Arm
So I've heard all of the difficulties removing the frame side bolt of the upper passenger front control arm, some people just end up using a sawzall, some attempt jacking the converter/exhaust to move it out of the way. I've even read remove some engine mount bolts and jack up the engine. What I did was nothing genius, inventive, or original. I took off the axel end of the control arm prior to attempting the frame bolt removal. It allows you to pivot the bolt out without even an ounce of effort.
