Only someone who has laid out front suspension geometry will understand this. Dave has done it. I have done it. And what he says is painfully true.

On the other hand, looking at the control arm in the photo, it would appear that this can be done with a minimum of greenbacks, so I would at least try it. What do you have to lose besides having to do it right later? The screwed-up geometry may be within liveable limits for the way you operate and you haven't spent the farm doing it.

As far as how to do it, I think the photo is self-explanatory. A Sawzall, 4" hand grinder and a MIG. I think I would take some accurate measurements of the whole front end before disassembly and sit down at the board to draw it out to scale, before and after, so you can see what other changes will be necessary.
