On most vehicles they are mirror images of each other.
'97 sunfire axle nut is 195 ft-lbs. Should be the same for Saturn
A front-to-back running component that serves the same function as a lower control arm is a
For more torque you want a smaller at the front and/or a bigger at the back. It might lower top speed though.
Lower Arm to Crossmember Bolt............110-148(149-201)
One lower control arm for each front strut.
Strictly speaking the only way to get more torque out of the motor is to tune it. But you can get more torque/faster acceleration (and lower top speed) at the rear wheel by going to fewer teeth on the front sprocket.
probably or there part of the same piece ....normally there's multiple bushings on a lower control arm ...i guess it just depends on the vehicle and its probably easier to replace the whole arm rather then individual bushings.
According to the Chiltons Repair Manual, on 1986-1995 Taurus / Sables, the lower ball joint is an integral part of the lower control arm and is not replaceable - replace the lower control arm as an assembly.Replacing the lower control arm isn't all that bad of a project...Prep: Raise and support front end - remove wheel, caliper, rotor* Remove 'tension strut' nut - that's the bar coming from the frame out to the middle of the lower control arm * Remove the 'pinch bolt' at the bottom of the steering knuckle holding the lower control arm / ball joint stem - it would help to open up the pinch with a small pry bar * Remove bolts from inside control arm frame mounting / pivot point Install:* Place control arm over the end of the tension strut* Reattach control arm to frame pivot point - torque nut to 73-97 ft. lbs. * Align the 'grove' in the ball joint stud with the pinch bolt opening -* Line the stud up with the angle of the steering knuckle opening and insert * Insert pinch bolt and torque to 40-53 ft. lbs. * Time to put the nut and dished washer on the tension strut - dished washer facing AWAY from control arm (frontwards) - torque to 73-97 ft. lbs. Re-install caliper, rotor and don't forget the front wheel.
