Talking Q: How to adjust front lower arms ONLY

Howdy folks,

Anyone know the best procedure to adjust the front lower arms only (ie, without taking off tires/shocks/sway bar links etc).

Thanks!

the same applies to the front lowers. you can use a floor jack exactly the same way to manipulate your axle up or down as needed.

for me, i was able to twist the d/s by hand enough to get it aligned with the new adj lower control arm. no need for floor jacks or anything else. i did need the floor jack for the rear uppers though.
