i recently purchased a camber kit for my 98 accord sedan 4cyl... i had my cousin's father in-law do most of the work... the kyb's were no prob for him i guess and the rear camber he did... but the front ball joints he seemed not to get... i tried to explain but there was also a language barrier as well... so i end up taking my car back after him having it for a whole week...

so i'm over at strauss discount auto which is right near my house... they say for me to get the ball joints put in.. and an alignment.. it'll cost me right around 210 bucks...

so i'm wondering, how hard is it actually to install these new ball joints myself... do i need special tools... the guy at strauss was saying like he has to bang out the old ones and its a two hour job... and another hour for the alignment... etc etc...

basically is this something i can do on my own, with relatively no experience, but some mechanical aptitude, on my day off tomorrow on my own... any info or help is highly and greatly appreciated...

 

The multi-link in the back is a cake, should't take more than an hour.

the balljoint in the front you need to press it out, not sure how you could do that at home
