850 lower control arm replacement 850 1996

Having a large air impact wrench is a tremendous help on any front end work as you're dealing with large fastners that are very tight. Lacking one, you need a minimum 1/2" drive socket set plus a long breaker bar for leverage and having a heavy pry bar handy doesn't hurt. Work on jack stands. You also may need a ball joint separator to get the old unit off although most control arms come with the new ball joint installed. A seized on old ball joint is a real challange. Check FCPGroton.com site (steering and front suspension) and have your VIN handy
