SuperCoupe400 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I'm going to be doing a teardown this afternoon of my front end suspension to swap out my control arm bushing, steering rack bushings, sway bar bushings and wheel bearings. I'll be taking the control arms and wheel hub assemblies to a shop to have the old bearings/bushings removed and new ones pressed. But the other bushings I'll be replacing myself. I know I'll need a torque wrench when re-assembling things. I'm already planning on renting a ball joint separator. But I just want to know if there's any other tool(s) I'll need - besides the basic wrenches and sockets. Any specific size 'oversized' sockets - beyond say, 16mm - that I'll need? Thanks.

mehullica Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 You'll need 22mm and 24mm for the control arm removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I needed to know ahead of time - Before half-way dismantling my ride, then having to bicycle it 4-miles to the autoparts store.
