I've not had mine out sorry.
BUT, I'd imagine that you'd put the car on stands, undo the spring/shock, the outside bolt and then the inside bolts. There's probably a sway bar there somewhere too right? I see no reason why you'd need to remove the drive shafts or the knuckle from the top control arm. You'll need an alignment after this of course, but it might help to take note of the adjustments prior to pulling it down and trying to put them back near where they were... Reverse order to reassemble and use the jack on the lower control arm near the outside if you need to lift it up to the height of the shock spring/assembly. If the spring/shock gets in the way of replacing the outside bolt, then put the spring/shock on first and then use the jack to lift the arm up to the height of the outside bolt. Hope this helps |

No problem. I spotted a full rear IRS superpro kit on eBay (seller kmal9112) for $495. This kit includes the toe rods. You may not have prices up the toe rods yet but if/when you do I'd be very interested in knowing what you think of the price of the eBay kit.
Your comment on the heat arms reminded me of this thread by the rather amazing CSX_66... http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11364252 |
