[omodified]

I spent some time today cleaning up the threads on each of the upper and lower control arms. We tried to remove each bushing by hand (ratchet) because I know these threads can be sensitive. However, they were locked down pretty good, so we ended up having to use an impact. The threads were all in poor shape. Even the new arm needed some work. I wish there were taps available for these holes but I'm sure they would be very pricey. So, I used a dremel and did the best I could to refresh each thread. After two hours of careful and tedious work, all of the holes were good enough the run a bushing in by hand, with anti-seize of course. I even confirmed that I could torque them to 160 foot pounds with no problem.
