Timing bushings

Wow the rear upper control arm bushing on driver side is a pain in the you know what to get to!! Has anyone else ran across this??? Passenger one you can get a wrench on but the trunk pan is in the way on driver side. I only had it blocked up may be easier on a rack!!

agree. that was the one i asked the alignment tech to bail me out on.
i hook him up, he hooks me up.

i'm guessing a crows foot might do it?
sticking around for the answer.

...i'll ask him. i got new shocks in my near future.

Dropped the cradle, not all the way, just enough. I did the upper control arm bushings and subframe bushing inserts...

I guess my shallow sockets aren't as shallow as his.
I couldn't get the ratchet head to clear.

Thankyou for getting back to me. Going to wait until the snow melts before running it to alignment shop. Going to loosen it once it's on the rack. It's too close of a fit and no leverage when lying on my back. I knew I wasn't the only one to come across this. Thankyou sir
