At this point take your control arm all the way out as I would recommend new sn-95 ball joints and control arm bushings at the least ball joints which is necessary anyways. Get a weatherhead 7828 fitting from napa while your out its the correct fitting to put sn95 soft lines onto fox hard lines. (You only need one for the passenger side). Also get some energy suspension sway bar end links. They are 20 bucks and you already have the old ones out! Go back and throw it together in reverse order. Sorry if I left anything out I typed this while on the toilet lol -------------------- On Point Motorsport prez.
