Hello all.

As above I would like to remove my rear control arms to fit poly inner bushes.

 

As the jack points are like cheese and they have crushed every time,I’m hoping I may be able to reverse up my ramps on the drive and remove the control arms like that.

 

Is this possible?? I’m thinking to get a jack under the arms and slowly lower them like that….

 

This morning is D-day,sick of the crashy back end abs want to get aligned(yet again!!)

 

Thank you for your time 

I find jacking on the ribbed floor section near the rear jacking point works fine and use an axle stand on the domed plate with hole that's bolted underneath.

I’m under there now,it’s reversed up on to the ramps.It totally looks do able by only removing the inner bush bolts on the rear control arms….. will it go wrong?

Thank you MicMac,you are a legend

That's what I do. You've got to get the jack far enough along the sill to be able to get the axle stand under the bolt head/dome. You can find jack pads on eBay that fit over the sill and bear on the the sill not the joining ridge.
