It has been my experience if the lower control arms are bad, more than likely your upper control arms aren't too far behind. I would also recommend you do the strut mounts and end links while you are in there. Are the plastic dust boots to the air struts falling apart? If so, now is a good time to replace them.

Maybe my DIY control arm video might be of assistance? I spent a lot of time on this video, but it hasn't received many likes or views. I'm thinking this will probably be the last in depth big DIY video I do... I think most owners just outsource a job this big. Good luck!

Hey thanks a lot for making this video. I've watched it about 25 times... I'm almost half way done and it's taken me... longer than I'm willing to admit. Breaking the ball joint free was one of the most frustrating car experiences to date. I even busted a hole in the rotor guard at some point lol. I rented tools... I bought tools... I returned tools... I made tools... I tried so many things. The pickle fork that I finally got to work was the 15/16 fork in
this this
kit, without the extension, hammered with a 3 lb hammer. I should have commented on the video long ago asking which fork you used.

Thank you for the video! I found this post as I search for the torque values.

Wonder how much different the 958 is versus the 957. Its probably almost identical so, the video would apply to 958 as well, so you could probably label it 958 also.
