Man what a bytch. I ended up taking the upper contol arm off. Is there an easer way?
Man, the last time I changed out my front air spring/shocks, it took me less than an hour and I was on the road again. It's the easiest job in the world. It should be illegal charge money for it. It's that easy. The rears are even easier.
I think the I had the rears in the car in about 20 mins. That was to easy.
Hello, I'm new to LVC and I'm having a similar issue. I have a 94 Lincoln Mark VIII. When you mention "pull the upper ball joint bolt out of the spindle...", are you using a special tool? The head of the bolt is 18mm but the design of the spindle prevents a socket from fully setting on the head. I was able to remove the nut, but can't release the UCA ball joint from the spindle. Any help would be appreciated.why did you take the upper control arm out? all you do it pull the upper ball joint bolt out of the spindle, knock the upper control arm out of the spindle with a hammer, and pull the strut out, changing a front strut is a 4 minute job! i have never had a mark VIII that i removed a strut from that i even considered a bitch!
