Any good advice on getting the lower control are disconnected from the lower ball joint? I tried everything I could and couldnt break the bitch loose.

 

My only advice before you start breaking stuff is PB Blaster.

This stuff worked for quite a few of my suspension bolts, but not the ones that mattered most to me, and those were the rear lower shock bolts. Mine were seized in the bushings, leading me to applying enough torque to snap the heads right off.

I ended up cutting through my LCA's and just buying a new set.

Use PB Blaster in large amounts, and let it sit overnight. If this doesn't work, then start drilling bolts out, or do something drastic like I did.

BTW, you can find PB Blaster at most national auto parts stores (Autozone, etc)

Good Luck,
Jon

 

I can get the bolt off the botom fine, i just cant get the LCA to release from the stud. A buddy told me to get the biggest center punch that sears sells and hammer it between the control arm and the ball joint, but that only tore the bushing thingy? Any more ideas?

 

Hey Bro you will need a ball joint remover i had the same problem forking thing didnt want to come apart they sell them at sears one last thing is that i had to pound the fork out of it with a metal hammer till it released. here take a look at this. this guy used a ball joint remover.

Actually, what you want to do is thread the nut on a few threads, then lift up on the knuckle and hti the LCA in the part right above where the nut is. The reason for the nut is to not mess up the threads. When its loose, you'll see the the ball joint seperate.
