Is it hard to take of the front LCA? im trying to weigh my options on doing this myself as opposed to paying to have it done.

put the car up on jack , remove the tires.

disconnect the stabilizer bar link bolt from the cower control arm

disconnect the stabliser bar link bolt from the lower control arm

remove the pair of nuts ad bolts which attach the lower end of the shock absorber/coil spring assembly to the lower control arm

removie the cotter pin, loosen (but don't remove) the castle nut from the balljoint stud and separate the lower control arm balljoint from teh steering knuckle

remove the pront and rear nuts and bolts that attach the lower control arm to the crossmember

remove the lower control arm.

Thanks,seems easy,have you done it before? Is there away to put new bushings in without going to a machine shop? My one bushing is popped out and i would love to just buy new bushings and do it myself.
