I've been soaking everything with Kroil for 2 weeks now, hope it loosens up any siezed fasteners.

Yes, I,m aware of the procedures in the service manual, rarely does it go that simple.

I need to replace the driver side rear upper control arm, mine has a section that has rusted out. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips to help make this swap go smoothly?

Nope, bought this Jeep new and never saw a flood.

Rust seized is a bit different than corroded away!

Thing is, this is the first vehicle I've ever owned where this had to be done. There is no excuse for this type of damage! My 1947 Diamond T that came from South Dakota and Michigan never suffered this kind of corrosion damage, same for our 1969 Buick GS. There should not be the need to go to...

I did the same but doing it like that misses as much as it gets. Don't believe me, put it on a hoist after you **** it off and look. That salt dust is everywhere! Unless you pull the front wheels there is no way to wash down the axle stubs to fend off corrosion. My next vehicle will get...

It's Hard to hose off a vehicle in sub freezing temps. The body of my KK is almost rust free, it's all the undercarriage that's rusting away.

Got the Jeep into the shop today, they found plenty good metal to do a repair. If you're in Eastern North Carolina check out Barden Metal Fabrication in New Bern, NC.

Replacing it is a huge job, especially considering it also has the infamous hub stub rot issue also. The only thing pushing me towards fixing it it I still have the lifetime drivetrain warranty.

I bought this new in 09 and it spent most of its life in Michigan, I now live in upstate South Carolina

I was under my '09 KK looking for the source of an oil leak (rotted oil pan) and found a much more concerning rust issue, the front subframe has a large rust hole on the verticle section avove the left lower control arm! Hopefully we can find enough good metal to weld in a repair. Replacement...
