Rear control arm change

[wpavlis]

My father was in town this weekend so I had an extra hand. I needed to replace my rear springs from all the times my father and grandfather overloaded the old girl when They were on the farm. It seemed only fitting that he help me fix it. I reconditioned a set of control arms I picked up cheap on craigslist. I had hoped to get both done, but my old nemesis rust put a stop to that. We gave my grinder and cutoff wheel a good workout. I had to cut out the u bolt, front pivot bolt, and even the top spring mounting bolt out. The front pivot bolt is below. Tough work but it felt good to wrench with my father, even though most of the work was done with a grinder. Now I just need to find a torque wrench that goes to 200ftlbs for the new ubolt.
