Im installing new upper and lover control arms on my car. Is I know it seems simple and probably is. But is there any tips you guys can give to make it go smoother or anything I should be careful of. I will be doing it with the car on jack stands no hoist. Thanks in advance.
 
Probably obvious but... change out one at a time so your not fighting the rearend into position and use a big phillips screwdriver to align the holes while you fight the bolt in from the other side.
 
Not sure if your installing new springs or not, but when I did my control arms by myself I had a hell of a time trying to get the springs back in with the control arms bolted up(loosely). I ended up putting the upper control arms on, then putting the front bolt through on the lowers and setting the spring on the perch of the control arm then jacked the control arm up to the rearend to get the bolt in. It was the only way I could even come close to getting the spring in. It may of just been the control arm, spring combo that i went with but if your having troubles getting em in that will definatley work.
