09 Jetta subframe drop for arm removal?
I have a 09 Jetta Wagon with 2.5L regular 6 speed automatic. I need to replace my control arms but the clearance for the front bushings bolts is tight. Do I need to drop the subframe some to get them off?

Dmitry thank you for replying. My Jetta is a MK5. The arms are different. |

Yes, we do not have anything for the MKV. You should be able to drop the subframe slightly without removing it completely, but it might also give you more room to work if you remove it. However, it's not required.
