Gen6 Lower Control Arm Replacement

Hi eveyone,
I need replace my left lower control arm. 1989 Corolla Wagon 4AF 3 speed Auto.
Has anyone done this? Is hard to do?
The car was in an accident about 5 years ago and just noticed while replacing front brakes that the control arm is cracked.
Any info will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

nope, not hard. just jack it up and move the 3 bolts for the ball joint and the 3? bolts connecting it to the body. you don't have a front sway bar which makes it easier.

make sure the control arm you get has bushings pre-installed. I ordered one for a miata years ago and it didn't come with bushings which sucked...
