Okay im missing my front swaybar,dstocks might be helping me get one so thats not a problem.

Im just wondering if there is any dramas in installing it again?
Is it possible without a hoist, if i do need a hoist i have use of one for free but for a limited time, about an hour, would i be able to get it done in that time?

Also i have ordered from camskill & ebay

Front Swaybar Droplinks
Front Swaybar Poly Bushes
Lowered Rear Swaybar Droplinks
Rear Swaybar Poly Bushes
Two Lower Control Arm Balljoints
Steering Rack Bush
Both Outer Tie Rod Ends
Both Inner Tie Rods


Can i install all of these without a hoist or a press?
Have i missed anything as well? I already just replaced both control arm bushes on either side.
Btw these will compliment the new shocks and low Apexi springs i am getting off pete.

Should feel like a completely different car. 8)

Nothing needs pressing in but sway bar is bitch of a job, will have to drop subframe down to be able to to put in bolts. Everything else is straight forward enough wont need a hoist but it does help

The ball joints are also a poofter to get out. You'll need a good set of circlip plyers.

Not only that, but a lot of the bushes can be a bitch as well, a lot need to be cut out..
