I have purchased new front lower control arms for my 2006 LR3 with the 4.4 engine. I hope to replace them this weekend. Any special tools required? Any tips or tricks? Thanks.

 

Get replacement bolts. If the bolts are seized cutting them off is the easiest way.

 

Thank you

 

Don't forget the alignment afterwards...

 

I've also heard it should sit over night before doing the alignment. I don't know for certain that's required, but the shop that did mine aligned it after, and a few months later I got new tires and bought a "lifetime" alignment and it was a little off in the front. I guess maybe the new bushings need to find their new resting place after the compress a little, maybe.
