Default 6th gen lower control arm and sway bar link installation

I hit a curb pretty bad and ended up bending my lower control arm in the front and also messing up the sway bar link. Is this a DIY job or should I let the dealer handle it. They quoted me at $324 total for parts and labor

thanks guys

Depends on your comfort level, but shouldn't be too bad. You'll have to pop all the ball joints to release the LCA, and I hear that on the front endlinks it's a bit tight getting the nuts off due to their position in the LCA.

If you decide to do it and want the torque specs let me know and I'll post them.
