I was curious if anyone has ever replaced these... Just receive new ones in and was going to replace them on my own... It seems pretty straight forward, but wanted to get some input from others that have installed them...

THanks

Why you replacing them?

 

tons of knocking in the front end... so pretty much replacing the struts mounts, left is shot, and control arms... Already had my wheel bearings replaced...

 

Hum.... Well i dont know what to tell you. I have never messed with them.

 

it's cool... from the looks of it, I just pretty much unbolt the old ones and throw the new ones in... Then take it off to get an alignment this week...

 

Yeah but I think you need one of those air chizel things to knock them off when you unbolt them.

 

knock them off?... I just used a breaker bar and all of em loosen up no problem... Well not no problem, but they loosend up... b*tches were on tight as all hell...

 

Well maybe I dont know what I am talking about. Good luck with it.

 

if I had a chisel it sure would have been quicker..

 

well in the end, after replacing strut mounts, bearings, and control arms, the knocking ended up being the sway bar end links... go figure, the cheapest thing to replace... but it's all good... my car was at that point where it was time to replace the other items anyways..

 

^^^That's good to know for future reference...

 

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner.

Yeah, I swapped my crushed one for a new stocker. Easy as pie, as you kinda said. Just gotta break the bolts and you're golden.

 

yea it was pretty cake... I changed out my sway bar end links, and bushings and still knocking so I am thinkin axle... maybe?... I dont know... I ended up have to remove the oil filter to get a deep socket on one bolt, but it was cool, so I changed my oil while I was at it... no biggy...

Anyways if anyone has any input on the axles knocking please let me know

 

Was there any resolution to your problem?
