You can also use a length of chain in a loop around the suspension arm to hold it up.

Use a jack under the lower A arm to lift it or add some weight in the front of the car to lower the front or a combination of both. The objective of either method is to get the load arm pushed up as much as possible. When it is in the raised position use a decent size loop of chain thru the opening in top of frame and drop down to go around the load arm. Use a bolt to fasten everything together in as tight a loop as possible. When the front end is back in normal position again the load arm will be held up by the chain and A arms will be free for any work needed. There will be a substantial amount of load on the chain so use a decent sized quality chain and bolt.

Possibly someone might have a photo showing this method or saved one of Craig's old Panther site photos that they can repost. Since Craig's website is gone and there is a good chance the photos posted on the forum long ago were lost with the server upgrade a few years ago that probably would be the only way to see the procedure.
