Re: My Air Bag Install Mar. 2008
Waiting for the ball joint tool and my air line from suicide doors. Was hoping to run the red line but they were sold out.

I'll have lots of pics soon.

arm out of the way so I can fit a drill up there and drill the 8 holes.......
Upper ball joint with the forks and risk damaging the ball joint boot or
the four rusty nuts on the U bolts that hold the control arm to the frame

??



I bought $25 3/8 hard as $%@& drill bits so once the arm and springs are out of the way it will pop together.......

Re: My Air Bag Install Mar. 2008
Some pics before I drill out the 8 holes using the steel plate as a template and mount it all....

Here is the fun I had taking the control arm down without wrecking any of the brand new parts.....
