Re: Replacing a control arm
Unless you have lots of tools, jackstands, a good floor jack and SOME under-car repair experience, don't attempt it. Strut and spring packages have a lot of stored energy and you could get hurt taking it apart and possibly need to compress something to get it back together.
I'd suggest hitting the local library, they should have real car manuals in the reference section. Chiltons or Haynes (a total piece of crap in my opinion) might cover the repair but are sketchy in a lot of areas.
If you do decide to take on the repair, see if the replacement parts are available and try to have it on hand before you start. The visual aid will give you a good idea on how it comes out.
