hmm lower control arm came off okay, the upper though turns out you need to drop the subframe, balls should have just done it yayday.

If you have removed the Caliper from the car fit a suitable grease nipple to an open port and pump grease in, not failed yet for me. Kevin

this so much. i spent an hour with an air compressor at about 100psi with nothing and managed to actually get a seal. i order and hook up a grease gun and boom, straight out, no dramas. also debushed one of the upper control arms. it was a bit of a nightmare, bent my rod, but then a quick blast with some heat and away we go Its actually a sport Not anymore, 4.4 TDV8 now |

i noticed when reinstalling the bushes for an upper control arm that the holes in them can take an M16 which stock could only take M14. Its actually a sport

Just catching up on this now, it’ll be well worth it when you’ve finished. The 2007 car I did this to felt like a new car after I’d finished it. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

I was mostly inspired by your subframe drop.
