Hey guys!

Got a silly question...

I've got a 66 Dodge Coronet 440.

I'm gonna swap my UCAs with tubular-style and add a stiffener to the LCAs.

Is there a "rule of thumb" on which one to remove first??

Or doesn't it matter?

Thanks!

Once the spindles are out it really doesn't matter. Sometimes it is tough to get the upper ball joint out of the spindle, but it is easier to get the upper joint out of the arm with it mounted in the car.
