sure thing. if you're doing this yourself, be aware that it IS possible to remove the rear control arm WITHOUT removing the axle from the wheel housing. to do this, loosen the control arm bolt at the subframe under the car. then, loosen the nut at the ball joint about 1/2 way. split the balljoint. remove the nut the rest of the way. this saves some time.

also be aware that when you remove the rear control arm, you will lose your camber setting & will require alignment following the job. you will need to do this regardless of how well you mark the concentrics; plan on an alignment for sure.
