replacing upper A arms (wishbones)
I started doing this over the weekend, I did the driver's side. This involved swapping the part number 16
1. Removing the two nuts/bolts holding the powersteering fluid reservoir to make space to move the coolant expansion tank 2. Removing the two screws holding the tank and moving the coolant expansion tank to expose the front nut holding the A arm on the front of the shock tower. 3. Removing the cover under the windshield cowl to expose the rear nut holding the A arm on the rear of the shock tower 4. Remove the wheel, supporting the hub using a jack stand, then unbolt the ride height sensor arm from the wishbone 5. unbolting the front and rear bolts of the arm where they attach to the body of the car. (It helps to have two 16mm racketing spanners, there isn't much room for a rachet and socket) 6. unbolting and removing the ball joint (from 19-20) Installation was the reverse. I got some -30 min arms to hopefully cure the feathering that I have had on the oustide of the tires, even with the toe set as close to zero within the spec I started on the driver's side, but after removing the cabin air filter, theres was the Ebox compartment, and I was already tired. Anyone have instructions for removing that to expose the nut? I couldn't find the instructions in Rheingold.
