Control Arm Kit
The latest issue to come up with my car is the legendary front right control arm moaning. I was searching the archives to find out about this, and found out about a kit that replaces all eight of them in the front. I saw some information about AoA financially softening the blow. Even though my car is a '96, is this still going on? I have half the nerve to get all control arms replaced at once, as they seem to routinely go bad. Does anyone know the details of this recall/kit situation?

Only if you don't clean them, I would also recommend purchasing the Stainless Steel models.....
Also if you maintain them by spraying a little WD40 every 2-3 months, you will never develop that problem. You don't even have to take the wheel off to due this even if the car is lowered just turn the wheel and aim the little nozzle. But this might be a hassle for some people.

for me who had not done anything except my wheel bearings before,
it took me a couple days to do all the things i did.. if you dont have the tools also i would just pay someone the money and keep your hands clean.. the control arms can be a real pain to get off sometimes but with time and patience you can get it done..
