Default Replacing F/R Lower Control Arms

95 GT original owner - I started the thread about ride quality. In doing some research it looks like replacing the entire are assembly with all the bushings and ball joint already installed. Similar on the rear.

How tough a job is this? I am getting older now and am concerned about the torque requirements to get both off and on. I have always been pretty hands on and have replaced all my shocks and struts for years on this car.

Looking for candid comments about level of difficulty doing this on jack stands in drive way as well as any tips. Thanks.

You'll need a good impact to remove the nuts and bolts. I wouldn't try this without one.

Just a precaution to anger management lol.

Good luck
