replacing control arms is easy. Just don't forget to get an alignment. I've seen both aftermarket and OEM arms and both were clearly labeled with an L for left and R for right.

Which arms are you replacing, the control arms or the compression arms? If it's the control arms there's no excuse for non-OEM parts as they're like 30 bucks a pop. Compression arms are a different story - but I still regret getting the cheap compression arms as the boots are far more fragile and cracked within a month, no leaks but cracked. They do the job, just not a great job.

Try a service manual? Or a Chilton's/Haynes? It is as easy as an oil change.

I have to.... If they were smart they would throw a stock 1g engine in and call it good. Best of both worlds, reliable, and its not a snail

I'm sorry but last time I checked we used F&F to make fun of cars, not use it as a reference to decide what cars are reliable.

replacing the control arms are easy.

go to autozone and rent a ball joint separator.

you wouldn't need an alignment because you're not taking off the outer tie rod or anything, so you're ok.

We specifically ask people to not bump threads on our site. You received a reminder of that request, that's all.

 

[VETTE_50_TH]

Ive never had this happen, but if you make a thread and no responds to it in X amount of days, is it appropriate to bump. When is it ok to bump?

 

[PieEyedPiper]

An alignment is a good idea, whether you removed the tie rod ends or not. Possibly more than just a good idea.
