I was replacing the coils because one was cracked. I had to heat the bolts off because they were gaulded. When I got the bolts out I noticed the holes were badly rounded and enlarged, that with the fact that the previous owner welded patches to the control arms because of the rust problems. I figured it was unsafe,so I decided to replace the arms.
I had a friend over last night, and we dropped the drive shaft, and that gave us the room to adjust the axle enough to get the control arms to fit.
Thanks for your help!!
