A-Arm change questions??

[tahoe97]

I bent my lower a-arm .. when i am siting on the bike its the right side..

I know i can order the part from service atv with me siting on the bike and it being right will i need to order the left or right??

i know that sounds stupid but they may judge it by the front..

also how hard is it going to be to change it out?
will i have to take the top a-arm off too and the rim?

thanks in advance

it won't be hard to change. you'll have to unbolt your shock from the lower arm...the rim, and then the lower arm from the steering knuckle. then unbolt the a arms from the frame...then put the new one on in reverse order. It's really easy, i'm sure you won't have any problems.

right is defined as you sit on the bike.. so you need the R lower control arm..

not a big deal to change, probably about 15 minutes work.

Well if the new arm doesn't come with those damn special bearings it'll take a while. You have to take out 4 seals, 4 stopper rings (thats what i call them), then you take like a socket that just fits inside the tubing of the arm and pound out the bearing. Then in reverse order, you put it all back in and grease it before you put the seals in
