My comments were in reference to the front LCA bushings. You'll need a Klann spring compressor, 25 ton press and special fittings to get the bushings out and then back in again. Click buy parts link above and look at them and you'll understand. That job, with proper tools and a lift, has to be worth at least 4 hours by itself.

The easy DIY way is to buy a new LCA complete with associated bushings factory installed for $250 per side. That leaves you $100 for labor, or about an hour.....

Most folks would use a MB puller for the ball joints too so they dont break going break in.
