Quick question before replacing UCA & LCA on both sides (1 Viewer)

[zcostilla]

So I posted a while back about damaging my RH side control arms, and taking the plunge with the high mileage to do both sides at the side time. Wanted to ask a quick question.

Will I need to redo the torsion bar adjustments and AHC fluid pressures as well?

You'll need to move your torsion bars to replace the lower control arms, so yes.

You don't need to remove the shocks from the upper mount so no need to mess with the fluid. You don't need to remove the tbars just unbolt the spline mount at the arm and slide back. You can mak them if it makes you feel cozy

To be specific, you need to loosen them and detach them from the LCA. They can hang there and don't literally need to come out, but at the end of the day, that means everything will need to be readjusted.

Thank you for confirming what I already suspected. Guess since I don’t have TechStream working, this is going to TrollHole’s Cruisers for this job. My other mechanic can get me in right away, but this needs to be done right.

Good choice. Trollhole's will get it done right.
