can I take off the lower control arm without removing everything?

Subject: can I take off the lower control arm without removing everything?

I figure the lower control arm has no bar on it, so I can easily get the rubber bushings out, can someone correct my process

ball joint still good

raise car
removed wheel

remove cotter pin, loosen lower ball joint castle nut.

place jack under control arm

knock ball joint loose with nut on top to save threads.

remove nut, lower arm to release tension of spring.

let arm hang.

remove both bolts that holds the arm to the chassis

replace in reverse order.

I don't think I even need to remove the rotor or caliper.


and how do you do the tops by themselves later?
