The dreaded siezed upper control arms

[James1984]

Just after a second opinion from other like minded people...

So, i have finaly got my car into the garage to get a few jobs done which mainly includes all front suspension arms (only needed uppers but only paid £140 for a full meyle hd kit) and discs, pads, hoses etc.

Anyway, i have removed the upper control arm nut and the bolt is stuck in, before i spend hours and hours messing about with heat etc do i just cut through the control arms and take the upright (or whatever its called) to a garage to get pressed out?

You can but you’ll need to remove the drive shaft as well.

Had a go with a blowtorch and impact gun and got both out in under an hour which was nice, unfortunately found out my rear bushes are toast too and maybe the oil cooler

Expensive repair bill. Good old RS4’s
