Subject:radius/strut removal
From:Richard Koller
Date:Wed, 7 Oct 2015 17:13:09 -0400

Hi all,
I am rebushing my front end in stages. I have a late syncro with the cast
lower front control arm. The radius arm/strut screws directly into the
lower control arm. I don't see a way to remove the strut to replace the
radius arm bushings without removing the entire lower control arm. There
doesn't seem to be enough clearance to pull out he unscrewed strut. I've
disconnected the lower shock bolt and lowered the control arm but this
still doesn't seem provide enough clearance. What am I missing?
Thanks
Rick Koller
