Can you please provide the work instructions, torque values, any one-use bolts and pro-tips to replace the front upper controls arms?

Thanks in advance for your expertise. After rebuilding the front left/right struts- (reused springs only), I realize a refresh of additional suspension components is needed. Can you please provide the work instructions, torque values, any one-use bolts and pro-tips to replace the front upper controls arms? The best I can tell is I have to access the fasteners by removing some components underneath the hood.

Hi,

If you look below, I attached the directions for the upper control arm. Take a look through them and let me know if they help. They do indicate preliminary procedures as well as the torque specs and which bolts to replace.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
