Thanks.
Chances of me being able to loosen the anchor bolts on a 13 year old rust belt arm without breaking them, not good. But I do have the bushings from the new arm with bad balljoint I could swap over.
I love the check the camber in step 8, there's nothing I can do anyway with the stock arm correct?
Rusted bolts shouldn't be a problem. They rust only on the surface. A good penetrating oil will get it to move.
The torque specs on the bolts for the bushing is only 20lb-ft. Aligning them according to the diagram should hopefully keep the bushings from under stress.
