Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    driver side wheel stuff

    Hey guys, on a scale of 1 to 10, (10 being the hardest) how hard would you rate changing the drivers side CV axle shaft (I think that's what its called) and upper control arm? And are there any special tools I would need to do this?

    Also, what are your opinions on http://www.tasauto.com ? I was thinking of getting the parts from there.

    Thanks in advance

    Axel is moderate. Upper control arm very easy. For the UCA you need sockets and a hammer.

      UCA is dirt simple. However, you'll want to get a proper alignment afterward. Always get an alignment after messing with any suspension components.


      As for the axle... the driver's side is the easier of the two, as you can do it without draining the fluid. You'll need a 36mm socket, an impact gun or VERY long breaker bar, a ball joint seperator (a pitman arm puller is best... but can damage the bolt... the fork type one will almost always ruin your boot), and a flathead screwdriver that you don't mind breaking (craftsman... take it back, get a new one). With the right tools, it's a simple job. The axle nut and ball joint are the only things that can give you trouble, really.

        Not really on our cars the only reason you would need an alignment is if you mess with the tierods. Pretty much everything else is a set deal.

        Axle's are ok if you have the right tools, You need 36mm for axle nut, 17 for the LBJ. Then taking them out can be a trouble, my LBJ came out real easy pry up on the knuckle and hit it with a hammer a few times, should pop out. then pull the axle splines out of the hub/knuckle then go under the car and pry out the axles from the trans, should come out pretty easily.

        Upper control arms are real easy as said. Two 17 or 18MM (don't remember) up top, the only difficult thing is the one under the fuse box. then take the protector off, two 10MM's then pull the cotter pin out and I forget what size it is. Then hit it with a hammer a few times and it should pop out.

        I just did this recently no alignment, car drives and stops as straight as ever.
        wat?

          ok, thanks for the info. I had a mechanic change the axle, and I'm going to get a UCA and do it myself, I think.

          what do you guys think about http://www.tasauto.com/Product/Brows...z=10&h=175&p=1 ?

          the part is #6351462, the r/h UCA from tasline
