Hi guys, I need to change my front lower control arm. I bought the car that have a broken one, I've been doing some research and I see that it's a pretty straight forward process.
My question is... How hard is it? and also any special tips to make the job easier or things that I have to make sure on?
Thank you so much!

 

not hard if you know what you're doing.

 

 

tip: work them chicken *****

 

tip get an impact gun

 

Takes quite an impact to break a lower control arm. Are you sure there's no additional damaged suspension parts?

 

I just bought the car... the last owner said that he was going down hill around 50mph and smashed on the brakes to avoid hitting a stopped car and because the tires were bald but had more thread on the right front, the car pulled to the right hard and he hit the curb. I didn't even had a chance to pick up the car from his yard but I am getting a uhaul tomorrow so I can bring it home and start to take things apart. Oh yea he said that the rotor broke as well but he got a new one.
Thank all of you guys for the input.. luckly I just bought a new jack as well so since my old one didn't go too high. I'm hoping to knock this job off this week!

 

So far that's all what I can see... he said that the car needs a new rotor which he got one and the lower control arm.
