Re: AXLE, Front
BTW...the axle replacement took me forever because I forgot that I can't take out the three ball joint bolts (on top) without jacking up the A-arm to change the angle (so the bolt can back out without hitting the hub structure!) I don't know if it was always like that...but it was not mentioned in the "How to", so think it became a problem for me when I installed the drop springs and Koni inserts!...?
[Heh!.. What if i put the bolts from the bottom up (instead of inserting from the top), placing the nuts on top? It would alleviate the problem, but I was too afraid I'd have to redo the positioning for some undetermined reason...or have my ball joint fall off while driving...So, I went to the trouble of re-installing with the bolts inserted on top! Yikes!] Thanks, Jim ![]()

Re: AXLE, Front
You can also just turn the steering wheel all the way to the right to get one bolt out, and all the way to the left for the other one. It takes only a slight amount of manuevering to get the bolts out this way.
