Looking for any DIY assistance with respect to replacing the control arm on the drivers side. Transmission is right above bolts so access is only possible by either lowing the sub-frame or raising the engine just enough for clearance. I'm wondering if it is possible to get enough clearance to do the job by unbolting just the left side engine mount? And then raising the engine until clearance is gained? Or do all the engine mounts have to come off?

Hello and thanks for donating! You are correct, you will have to loosen and raise the engine assembly to replace the driver's side control arm. Replacement steps are below to help you along the way..
