dude i took apart every piece in my suspension system... my arms are at a machine shop gettin the ol bushings outta there.. i cudnt do it with what i had... thats abot the only problem about doing thi swhole thing at home... is gettin them out. ... also my optinion about the #2 lower control arm is that the daizen bushing sucks... specially for me since i have bags it seems that after time it would wear in and be way less effetive then the stock round ball bushing thats on there. BTW i just jumped into it... very easy to take apart our cars suspension.. i wen out n spent 200 at harbor freight got my self torqu wrench breaker bar, etc... thos are def a must!!!! but yeah im gona take pics on reasembly...

Taking the suspension apart will not be a problem, i did it twice already on my GS, so it takes me about 45 minutes to take it apart on both sides with just regular tools one can find laying around in my garage! The only concern i had was pressing the bushings in, and since i can do it at my buddies shop for free that will be taken care of in a matter of minutes. Along with that, my Tein cs' are going back in the place of my Tein s-tech/KYB set up, so im excited to see how much of a difference all of this will make. I guess i should have done more research on this stuff before because now i want the Daizen OE swaybar bushings as well, but thats gonna have to wait until later, im not waiting to get them here so i can do it all at once! I cant wait anymore!!!!
