mrlobster · 10-15-2014, 01:21 AM

In reading my replies to my previous post, considering my budget and intention, rebuilding the front suspension and steering and adding a sway bar seems like the best course of action.
My question is, for the inexperienced but willing mechanic, how difficult is it to swap out the springs, tie rod ends, ball joints, shocks and add a sway arm? Are there many specialty tools required?
Thanks for helping a newbie!
