Replacing Control Arms, Shocks, Tie Rods 96 Blazer
This weekend I will be replacing both upper control arms (all arms come with rivited ball joints) and the lower right control arm.
I also will be replacing both front shocks and both tie rods.
Besides unloading the torsion bar for the lower arm (ill probably use a bolt and a jack), are there any other special tools I will need or any problems anybody here has run into while doing these replacements. Any tips? Anything else I should buy in advance before starting the project? All I have are the parts mentioned above plus a garage filled with MOST tools.
