John - Once you have it apart be sure to inspect very closely the bushing
sleeve holes in the lower A-Arms. It is pretty common for these to be
elongated from worn out bushings and it sounds like yours haven't been apart
in a long time, requiring new A-Arms..

Subject: RE: Removing Trunnions
Goal is to replace the a-arm bushings anyway - the trunnions are an
unexpected extra...
So I can unhook the sway bar and tie rods then take out the upper and lower
a-arm frame bolts? I assume I need to use the spring compressor to keep
things together. Or can I safely use a jack, take out the lower bolts,
lower out the spring, then get the top bolts?
Sure would be easier than laying on my back. Think I'll try that.
