95 Lower right A Arm question, pic included

[maddevildog]

Hi guys,
The right side lower control arm on my 1995 4 Runner is shot, is this a big job to replace it? Anyone have tips or instructions on how to do this, videos and pics are cool too if they are out there.

The rust bug has hit me pretty hard, the truck went in today to get a new break line and they found this. The inspected everything else although there is a lot of rust everything is is in pretty good shape. This is not a daily driver, i mainly use it for hunting and fishing and local runs,


Thanks,
DJ

The bolts will probably be a pita to get out. May have to torch the bolts/busking out. Over all its not a bad job, but will take some time to complete. How is the other side? upper a arm? rest of the frame?

The other stuff is good, they checked the frame and said it is still ok. The whole truck took on rust, my doors are real rough on the bottom as well. The tailgate has already been replaced doing to be roached by rust.

The truck runs like a champ though.

Yep worst part is going to be the bolt. Probably going to snap the shock and ball joint bolts but you'll just have to get new bolts for the new arm. I had to burn my bolts out and replace bushings when doing my lift. Not really a hard job.
