I need to find the cause for the rear sagging before the end of the month. The sagging is on the right side. I'd like to check for corrosion or damage to the pivots/ear without major down time. Is this posible? I'll have to check back on this post later. Thanks for your help.

You should'nt have to remove it. If you do remove it.. you need to take a measurement for toe so you can reset it when you are done. Pulling them off without removing the rockers panel is tough. They will hit the rocker panel as you pull it out of the inside control arm ear.
I say: jack it up and CLEAN the area thoroughly before pulling anything apart. First place to look, right above the inner ear where the shaft/nut for the control arm meets up. They crack right there starting at one of the factory spot welds on the front side of the ear. B |
