if its the rear lca you shouldnt need more than basic metric hand tools..its not that hard....

unless youve never touched them before, the bolts may have seized up on you and will break off..PITA..

and 94-01 rear lcas are all the same

its easy if your bolts will come lose, 3 bolts and 1 for the sway bar. i think they are 14mm's, you need a jack also and maybe another smaller jack and hammer to help you keep the new lca lined up with the bolts while you screw it in.

When i took my lca's off, I was only able to get three bolts off without breaking them; IT SUCKED. The car was from the north and I will never buy a northern car again. This is why I like living in the south, the rust isn't bad.
