2000 Silverado lower control arm replacement
Happy Holidays all
I was swapping out rotors on my 2000 Silverado, and found that driver side lower control arm front bushing is going bad. Not completely, but getting there.
Looked in Chilton, they say to remove torsion bar, antisway bar, driveaxle, some minor items, in order to remove control arm.
New CA with bushings and ball joint pressed in is only $155.
Considering winter time, I am open to constructive shortcuts on this. Can I simply remove torsion bar, sway bar, pop the ball joint loose, jack hub up with jackstand and remove CA? Why do I need to have driveaxle removed, if it's above CA and does not appear to have any contact with it?
