Question Dropping Front/Trailing Control Arms and Subframe - Installing Energy Susp Bushings
Awhile removed to be sandblasted and painted, can i have my car on the ground, non-hoisted? it'll probably be pushed within 10ft around and back. will it hurt my car?

I think he wants to know if the car can be moved while the control arms are out

Thaks for the replies guys! Whats so hard to understand Wankel 7?

If I want to drop all these components of my car to blast and paint (than end up Installing ES Bushings), what order of operation should I follow to allow my car to still be able to sit on the ground and than raised back up to be reinstalled?
