well certainly not lol..... But the way i did it was just lay it on the ground, the rear facing towards something that would catch it.. and stand on the spring while i loosened the nut and it just moved maybe 2 inches.........Thats it... and that was the same for all 4. So i'm not sure what the danger was on that.

Dont get me wrong.. i've seen them go a foot or 2 on my maxima.. but there was nothing to hit.

 

dont know what the lca bolt is but yes i took the top hat bolts off already

 

dang you still workin on that? which corner did you start with? those compressors may seem like its not gonna grip right but it does.

 

front passenger side , didnt mess with the rest just didnt want to do anything else till that gets resolved

 

lower control arm

 

i removed only the bolts u would doing a coilover installation, one lower bolt and two control arm bolts then the top hat bolts
