need some help finding something

[Chadly]

I am replacing my upper and lower control arms pretty soon and spent the last hour searching here but couldnt find any detailed instructions. I am pretty mechanically inclined and could probably just wing it, but would like to have something to tell me if I am doing it right. Anybody have any good links I can check out?

I am also doing a coil conversion at the same time, I found some great instructions for that but was wondering if there is anything I need to know about doing both swaps at the same time.

Thanks guys.

I don't know of any step by step tutorials... but it is very straight forward...

go to sears and get, they look like closed wrenches but they ratchet, a set of 18mm i think. they make it a lot nicer when you need to wrench by the master cylinder

You just bend the tab in the fender after removing the strut and remove it from there... none of that by the Master Cylinder BS.

pry the flags off the head of the bolts for the uppers and use a 15 mm ratchet and socket and a open end 18 wrench to remove the bolts, easy job chad you wont have any problems.

Chadly, Check the tech section of lincolnsonline.com. They have the coil conversion which you have and the upper control arm assembly instructions.
