Well, it's my turn to do the the upper control arms. YAY!! :wrench
The UCAs on the BA Mark visually seem worn along with the slight play they have when hoisted which obviously results in the recent clunking/rattling when driving over uneven pavement.
I already got the replacement Dormans from Rock Auto(might get MOOGs or NAPAs when i do whole front build this summer) and between 6 shops was priced between $150-$200 to do the labor(forgot to ask if any guarantee came with the labor). Is that "decent" price range?
I'm super novice when it comes to cars, but thanks to all the writes-ups here and the other sites I've done my own tune ups(except for the oil change), the lower ball joints, fuel filter, air silencer, thermostat, crossover tube, blend door, etc. I figured a quick poll would help me lean towards the most recommended method in getting the infamous rear bolts off in this job as I don't want to risk driving it any longer as it is.
Anything else to buy before the job or look at just in case while I'm down there?
Thanks a lot in advance!! You guys are great!!
