is it deja vu or was this thread posted not long ago... but yeah, jack your car up, its easier.. even if the car is on the ground, it won't collapse. it would just be harder to get the bolts in place

Rep Power: 0 ok veyr important. YOU MUST JACK UP THE CAR. becuase the bolts where ur going to put the lower tie bar holds the tires to the car when u take them bolts out the lower control arm that holds the tires in will shoot out of socket. So u must jakc up the car. U will see what I'm talkign abotu when u do it but u must jakc the car up trust me.

Rep Power: 0 Well I just recently did this and I agree "Ace Kicker " jack the car up unless you want more problems I found it easier to remove the rims because then the control arm was not as to put back into place since the weight of the wheel was not fighting you . but do it wich way is easy for you .. just a suggestion about removing the rims and make sure you torque them to 40 ft lbs. thats waht I was told from the dealer
