    [NC] Help Stu Do Control Arms

    My front control arm bushings are definitely at the end of their life. Noticeable clunk, alignment won't hold, all that good stuff. I'd love to have a nice front suspension refresh before the ZHP meet, and it would be very helpful to have someone work on the other side with me to get the job done faster. If anyone is in the area and would like to help, I'd really appreciate it!

    Perks include:
    Beer, food, and I'll always be willing to throw some bucks your way if you'd like

    This job will involve replacing the following on an E92:
    1. Upper control arm
    2. Lower control arm
    3. Tie rods
    4. Sway bar end links
    5. Rear alignment bolts (they're rusty and one broke during my last alignment)

    DIY here
    Other DIY here (they drop the steering rack, you definitely do not need to drop the steering rack)

    Possible risks
    - Rusted bolts
    - Stuck through-bolts
    - Rusted nuts

    I do have two electric impact wrenches: A Chicago impact, and a Milwaulkee impact.

    The good news: No pullers or presses are required. It all generally comes out very easily.

    Would anyone be willing to help? I live in Cary.

    Stu, if you and I met in an earlier life, we'd probably be dead. - Dane
