UCA Replacement Question
When replacing the Upper control arms do you need to pull the coils out? Or will the bolts clear the coils? Thanks.

I don't see why you would have to remove the coil over..

Up you will need to pull the coilover out. I learned that the hard way. The bolts almost clear but not quite. Plus it was alot easier once the springs were out of the way.
