Me too. I've tried several times. The only time they came out was when I had the hubs removed and the axles out and then when > dropped the cradle out.

The last poster said he did it without pulling the calipers

I haven't been able to figure it out and I spent 15 minutes trying

Did you remove the caliper and the brake rotor?

We make jokes about this regarding programmable logic controller techs. "I don't always test my code, but when I do it's always during production".

Thanks for the heads up

I bought the rears. For the money, I hope they clear

J&M makes a low profile steel mount.

Yeah, I think with the big tire some are going with a different top shock mount to gain more clearance.

I have the FP half shafts. They are actually G Force half shafts. The only thing is the boots are bigger than stock and they get really close to the shock. They actually contact the shocks when hanging unloaded loaded there is about 1/16 to 1/8 clearance.

Just the caliper or the bracket too? I have the service manual. It tells you nothing.

I would disconnect the driveshaft regardless. Too much risk fubaring a 2000 dollar drive shaft.

Worth a shot. It's a cheap easy try.

I'm coming to that conclusion. I got them out when the cradle was out. No way to get them out unless you start taking things off.

Everything is delrin or spherical bearings.

I've greased the hell out of those arms. I had the BMR spherical bearing vertical links. I thought maybe they were too stiff. I replaced them with delrin ones. Intermittent noise is still there.

The other option is to pull all of the cradle bolts and pull the cradle rearward to get space with the gas tank.

Actually that video show the non magnaride shocks. Those sit on top of the control arm. The magnaride shock stick out through the bottom of the control arm and bolt onto the bottom. The non magnaride shocks are easy to get out.

I've had this annoying thud that is so intermittent and a not so obvious, that it's driving me crazy. I can drive over a crappy road for miles and it's perfect. I hit a small bump, fast, slow, and nothing. But I hit something a certain way, a cerain bump...and there it is. I tried every mode...

Any one ever have success removing the rear shocks from the lower control arms? I got them out when the cadle was out. Doing it in the car is a different story. I just can move them around enough to get them out. It's like a evil genius designed the opening.
