Default Rear control arm upgrade

Just recently upgraded my stock rear upper and lower control arms to UMI adjustable uppers and tubular lowers. I was also in the transition between changing complete rear ends, so the pics I show will be complete re & re. If you are keeping your same rear end in the car, it is an even simpler process.

With the rear end removed, relocate new control arms and ensure good freedom of travel. In the case of the UMI arms, swab the bushing surfaces with the supplied assembly lube.

Elevate the differential into position with a floor jack and locate control arms with bolts. Install shocks and make sure springs are properly seated.

Ensure control arms fit and replicate stock items...



Install new lowers to mounts...



Using floor jack, elevate diff, attach uppers and lowers and shocks...



You are ready to go...
