Hi everyone,

Going to replace the upper control arms on my Libby, no lift, stock as a ****. Any tips & tricks? Thank you

If you search for ‘control arms’, there are several good threads on the topic. I’m trying to learn how to do that myself. The port side is the challenging one.

Welcome to the neighborhood. I’ve learned a lot in a short time here.

What year do you have ?
After 06 they have all that extra junk that you have to work around on the left side
Otherwise after you remove airbox, then battery etc 30 minute or less job
Very easy to do
on left side ( drivers side USA ) to get to back bolt, long extensions with a swivel with ratchet out near radiator is required
JBA make UCAs for lifted and non lifted Libertys with rebuildable ball joints
Some UCAs are not worth the effort to even toss them in the trash ( even when brand new )
so buy the best you can afford
