Rear Tubular Control Arms for 7g Tutorial
Tools:
14mm socket and wrenches
17mm socket and wrenches
rachet
hammer /optional/
Well, after doing the swap of 8g lower control arms to 7g Galant, I've decided to swap the upper arms too. It's pretty easy, staight bolt on, no modifications swap and it took me around 1 hour, because I also did the energy bushings. The only advantage that I know of, is that the 8g tubular arms are lighter than the 7g stamped steel, and of course they look better and they are stronger!!!

The picture below says it all, but if you do that please use lots of any penetrating stuff /wd 40, liquid wrench/, because I snaped on of the bolts and it was PITA to get it out.
