Why would you have to remove the upper a-arm to suspension upright bolt? On a
stock car you don't even have to remove the swaybar end links in the rear.
Just unbolt the two nuts in the trunk, unbolt the bottom shock bolt and pull
down on the control arms. Extra work being done here.
PS Popping the front upper ball joint has no effect on alignment.
