Ok I got all the bolts off the front lower control arm. The problem I have is with the last bolt on the K member on the front. I broke it loose and all but there is no room to pull it out because the rack and pinion is in the way. The rack boot wont let it clear so I cant pull it out completely. What should I do? I tried raising the tie rod all it went but it didnt help? How can I make the bolt clear the rack and pinion boot???????????? **** theres always a lil curve thrown in there to make your day!!!!!!!!!
Please help?

How hard was it to change out?

I'm thinking about changing out the whole K-member and lower/upper A-arm package just so I can be done with it ... looking at pictures it doesn't look hard at all. Since the stuff is adjustable, it kinda' freaks me out, though. Maybe I can find some aftermarket non-adjustable parts that are already to factory spec.

even with a factory spec part, you will still need an alignment to get everything perfect.

What I was considering is changing the entire k-member and upper/lower control arm assemblies all at once and then driving it over to my favorite performance shop and having them do all the adjustments for me. Would you recommend the dealership do it, instead?

I swapped out the lowers, carefully measureing everything as best I could.

I had to trailer it to the alignment shop.
