Any tricks to removing/replacing the lower control arms on the LR3 before I tackle the project this weekend?

 

When removing/installing spindles, cover the lower ball joints with a rag or 2 to prevent the lower ball joint from cutting the cv boot.

Tie the front driveshafts up so they don't hang (the inner cv joints like to pop apart)

Make sure you have a sawsall and lots of blades to cut out frozen camber/caster bolts.

Don't damage your catalytic converters with your hammer

Don't install the control arms upside down and backwards. You'll hate youself.

Install NEW camber/caster bolts and hardware

Be careful when reassembling and tightening the camber/caster bolts, and when trying
to adjust them. The locating tabs on the chassis are fragile and damage easily.

 

mark the camber bolts and reinstall them as best as possible.

Drive the vehicle at least ten miles and the perform the alignment.
You will need an outside shop, the trick to doing the alignment is to let the vehicle run with the door open after its in its regular position. then you can align the vehicle correctly.
