    Planning to freshen up my front suspension this weekend. I saw here and around the net that the horizontal bolt for the passenger control arm will not clear the oil pan.

    So how did you do it? Losen the passenger motor mount? Losen the subframe? A combination of both? Thank you.

    Subframe needs to be lowered enough to back that bolt out.
