I just got my new upper and lower control arms for Granatelli Control arms for a 2001 gt conv.but I have no install instructions. From what i understand, it's a pretty easy install, but I need the instructions. If anybody knows where I can get some, that would be awesome. Thanks.

Raise the cars rear and support it with jack stands on the body (make sure to block the front wheels)

Remove wheels

Put the jack under the diff and support it

disconnect the shocks and quad shocks

lower the axel

pull the spring out

disconnect the lower arm from the axel

disconnect the lower arm from the body

install new lower arm at the body

put the spring on the arm and raise to the axel and connect the arm to the axel (use the jack for this)

Reconnect the shocks and quad shocks

Do this one side at a time

For the uppers

support the axel with a jack and disconnect the upper arm

remove the rubber bushing in the axel ( you will need to use a drill to drill around the inside of the axel mount and break up the rubberunless you have a removal tool)

install new bushing in the axel

install new arm

One side at a time

i have access to use a lift, does this change any of the instructions?

If its a body lift and not one you drive up on then no but you will need a pole jack.

yeah, its a pole jack

I also used a lift to install the CAs. I used the aforementioned 'pole' jack also. Be carefull, because the axle will want to rotate forward or rearward depending on with arms you're replacing. Just reposition the jack and you can correct it. I recommend replacing one arm at a time. I saved some time by not replacing the bushing on the axle. I'll have to do it eventually, but I was in a rush.

Good luck.
