Front upper control arms- tips or tricks
I will be receiving some new upper front rears next week and was wondering if there are any tips from those that have done this replacement before. Any special tools required?

Start lubing the pinch bolt now!
Spray lube on the upper control arm pinch bolt.....if it is frozen, it's a real PITA to get out, it has to be drilled out.
Get some WD-40 and start spraying it every day for the next week.

it will make it easier to take out the shock and the whole upper
housing the arms are in. if you do that the job will be real easy. if you try to do it without thake the shocks off and housing you will spend more time trying to figure it and trying to get to the bolts and nuts...
