It can be changed by just raising the car for access. Remove the two noted bolts in the pic and pull the joint end of the arm toward the center of the car. When it comes clear of the bracket, pull it toward the front of the car enough to clear the fork to control arm connection, raise the fork enough to clear the control arm and move it (the track arm) toward the rear or of the car. The front of the track arm will drop down enough to move forward and out. This method worked on my '99. Also remember to torque the bolts properly....The fork end is in excess of 100 ft/lbs.
Thank you, found it. $170.
