Sweet, that walkthrough was helpful.

One thing - on her 98, she didn't have bolts parallel to the frame holding the control arm, but rather 4 bolts that went through the subframe into a threaded "bolt" permanently attached to the control arm bushing. 17mm worked on on them, 16 was too small. One requires a box end as there isn't clearance for anything else. I had do use that "two wrench trick" to remove and torque that one where nothing else would fit.

Also, I greased the splines going into the hub because the old ones were extremely rusty. Looked like it spent some time up in WA or OR getting salty.


Cheers and thanks!
