    Is this cheating? lol https://youtube.com/shorts/1gKEkC7Qv...fvMNuMdNSkZ0Qs

    IMO its more work up front, but easier work once you get there. Pull the parking brake shoes and unbolt the dust shield, gives you a ton more access to the area around the ball joints.

    You CAN get the UCA bolts out with the diff in but you have to unbolt it. At that point its not a "ton" more work to get the diff out. If you go back together with bushings then those need to be tightened at ride height. So I'll measure the ride height before I disassemble replace the arms and then jack that corner up until I simulate ride height and then tighten the inner control arm bolts, super easy with the diff out of the car.
