Posted September 7, 200222 yr comment_15112 Ok -- I maybe should have posted this to the tech area, and perhaps I am truly a moron... I dont have a service manual nearby and I am tearing down the suspension off of my roller and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to take the lower control arms (I think that is what you call these?) off of the strut housings.. I am attaching a pic so please if you have done this please help -- the brain is not firing on all 6 on this one! p Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2948-control-arm-removal-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
