I did a search and couldn't find much on this topic. I am having issues trying to get my A arms off the car. Do you have to pull out the torsion bars to get it off the car.
I am sure I am making this difficult, thanks for your assistance. |

put car on stands.
Unbolt the front two a-arm bolts Unbolt the rear single bolt unbolt the ball joint (or unbolt the strut at the top) REmove the caliper if you intend to take out the strut. Take out the two a-arms, and the cross member all together. OR Remove the adjuster cap at the rear of the a-arm by removing the adjuster bolt, and after hitting it with a hammer, pull the adjuster off the torsion bar. Now, give all that, if this is the first time to do this, the adjuster may not want to come off without a fight. Most of us will pull the two a-arms and the cross member out all as one thing, then take it apart once out of the car. Oh, the steering rack needs to be unbolted from the cross member and left hanging in the car... rich |

OK Thanks! I already pulled off the calipers and the strut. I just couldn't figure out how to get the rest out of the car.
