    Upper Control Arm

    Im going to go to the junkyard tomorrow and pick up an Upper Control Arm for the Rear Passanger side. The one I have on there now is bent. Is there anything else that I would need to get to install this? Ex.. new bushings or something. Also is there a how-to anywhere on how to do this. Is it very hard to do. Any info would be great. Thanx
    The reason im replacing this is because my tire tilts inwards on the top. Do you think I would need a new lower control arm also?

    A puller would be a big help in removing the tapered bolt on the ball joint. Either a 'tie rod end puller' or a good sized bearing puller will work. Some other guys on the board prefer to beat on it with with a big hammer. Getting the right tool would make it a lot easier though. If you have a nearby Autozone, they will loan you one for free.
