Was able to get them out today. Definitely a PITA prying the sway bar out of the way. Thanks for the tip!

Finished my rear suspension upgrades. I went with Fall Line spherical bearings for the upper arms and Fall Line adjustable links (non-race) for the lower arms. It was the most cost effective solution for me.

Can you name all the different SPL parts in your pictures? Thanks! I am looking at front tension arms but not exactly sure what OEM part it replaces.

Connects at the bottom of the front hub on one end and the front of the subframe on the other end. The length of this arm mostly impacts caster.

Thanks, so that is a replacement for the control arm/thrust arm that houses the rubber bushing? So you either replace the rubber bushing with Dinan or Fall Line monoball or replace the whole arm with this SPL piece?

For the front upper control arm (aka tension strut), did everyone reuse the 18mm long bolt? Still torque to 74ft-lbs + 90deg per SPL instructions?
