Bent control arm
can you replace a FE3 (2.4L) front right control arm with a FE5 (SSfi) control arm?
And how difficult is it to install myself? How long would it take? Have jack, and stands. Any specific tools i'd need for the job?

According to it, the LCA's of the FE3 and FE5 are NOT the same part. There is probably a difference in the bushing.
As for installing it, you will need really big wrenches since they are big bolts. But otherwise no special tools are necessary.
