I just did a lower controller on the passenger side from my mom's car I didn't remove the front bumper I removed the password site under Fender well cover and grabbed my ratchet and a breaker bar and broken loose. I had it all done in 30 minutes
I saw my co-worker brought in the shop a Fiat 500 and changed the lower control arm today. Can't understand why engineers created big big hassle for mechanics. Remove a whole bunch of things to get access to the bushing bolt.
