Lower Control Arm Bushing Replacement?
The lower control arm bushings on my 82 380sl are shot. So I'd like to replace them.
If I compress the spring and unfasten the shocks and connecting links, will removing the bushing bolts allow me to lower the control arm enough to remove the bushings -- or does the ball joint not have enough play to allow that?
Thanks in advance for the help.
