Easy to do with the springs out. I just take out the springs when I have to do work there.

Default Installing Lower Control Arms

Just installed new Rough Country LCA's, the exchange in this strand was extremely helpful. Used a come-along attached to wife's highlander to pull the axle fwd, worked like a charm. Thanks for all the great info, folks.

i just leave the axle on the floor jack, push the axle forward with my legs, slide the arms into place and drop a bolt in. a whole whopping 30 seconds a side.
