Re: 99 Cougar V6 How do you replace the Control Arms?

Do I have to lift the Engine/Trans. Not much room gained by this.
or do I have to disconnect the motor mounts and drop the Subframe?

How dificult is lowering the subframe?

I really do not want to remove the axles from this thing. I still have the problem of getting the lower ball joint out of the strut bracket?
