One way to take off the upper control arm is to loosen the hubcap nuts, lift the vehicle, and detach the wheel. For models 1988-1991, take out the cotter pin and release the stud nut. Use a jack to lift slightly the lower control arm and strike on the steering knuckle near the ball joint stud to loosen it. In case of need, use a ball joint stud separator. Remove the nut and pivot shaft attaching bolts then remove the upper control arm. For models 1992-2002, raise the lower control arm with a jack, get rid of the pinch bolt and nut, and disconnect ball joint stud. Take off the upper control arm retaining bolts and assembly. On models for 2003 and up, first, remove the shock absorber/coil spring assembly together with harness retainers then remove the upper control arm mounting bolts. When installing put the upper control arm pivot shaft in its position on frame, put the ball joint stud into the steering knuckle, and secure it there.

Tap steering knuckle to release pressure and loosen stud. Remove balljoint stud nut and lower control arm by removing mounting bolts. Inspect bushings for damage; replace if necessary.

Insert balljoint stud into steering knuckle, tighten castle nut, and install new cotter pin. Install shock absorber/coil spring assembly (2003 and later models). Attach stabilizer bar (1988-1991 models). Raise control arm to normal ride height, tighten pivot bolt nuts, install wheel, remove jackstands, lower vehicle, and tighten lug nuts.
