Thread: Upper vs Lower Control Arm Replacement

PeterOz

Looking at the price of parts on your spreadsheet, some parts look
good, but have a look at Karcraft located at Silverwater in Sydney.

The air struts In particular are a lot cheaper.

I have bought parts from them recently.

How many Ks have you on the car and has the lower arms been done before??

Baz.

gidday mate when you replaced your front upper control arms did you have to remove the air bag to get at it ?
looks like mine are knackered hehe thought it may have been lower arms because of the clunk mainly off road at slow speed but looks like they have been done recently .

I was looking at the uppers while doing my bushes and it does look tight but don't think the strut will need to come out.
