My dad had to explain it to me twice before I actually understood. Lol.

Do it yourself if you've got the time. Not too terrible hard to do. You can go to O'Rielys or AutoZone and they have great tool loan programs where you get all your money back when you return it.

Would rather do it myself but unfortunately I don't have the time. Deploy next week and there is a million last minute things I gotta do... I went with moog adjustables to get my camber and caster within limits...

The three estimates I got for labor alone (used the synergy ball joints) were 450, 500 (dealership), and 800.

Guess who I went with.
