Changed wife's front axle rear control arm. Just one so far I started with the right because that ball joint has failed. Holy crap it's bad too. The ball moves 2-3mm.
I couldn't get the inner tie rod to move in order to adjust the toe. I need some bigger tougher tool.to grab that tiny 13mm hex.
Both elbows of the height sensor were completely rusted to the point they didn't turn. Fortunately the inner most one the nut loosened enough the screw acted as a swivel. I was able to get both to move again but they are shot beyond words. The ball joint when I cut it open half a cc of rust powder came out.
