Default Just take your time, have a good spring compressor, and check your control arms, also

Look familiar? Took me 5.5 hrs by myself. Have fun.

Default Don't really know...I just pushed and pulled on the arms to see if there was any play. I think

it's a lot easier to feel any looseness when there is no load. On the car I think it's almost impossible unless they are really toast.
