The sway bar is disconnected, I just didn't undo the drivers side. I attempted to remove the lower ball joint first but at a certain point it started spinning so I could not get the nut off, that's when I due aided to go for the upper. The spring compressor you see was actually doing nothing. After my 12th beer and getting no where I attempted to try it but it was definately not going to work. The car is actually on four 3 ton jack stands, the jack you see is out of my truck that I used just to see if added height would allow the a arm to come down more which it did not. Hopefully you can see that I did secure a cable down through the coil in order to prevent a broken nose, lost teeth, and deep facial scars that would add 100 lbs to the potential women I could marry.
