just check your balljoints up front.

you will need an alignment afterwards.

yeah theyre pretty solid...

they sell the whole set, some are easy as hell to install, others are a pain in the ***. you might wanna take it to a shop and let them deal with it...

I installed my rear trailing arm bushings with prothane's .....Big pain in the *** with no torch..
