It's not overly difficult to do yourself, but it's going to require some knowledge, and tools that you may or may not have. I wouldn't attempt this on a jack stand - find a lift. You have to remove the rim, rotor, ABS sensor, etc. Before you even get to the LCA. Then you need to get an alignment


No way man, for the lower control arm all u have to take off is the fork, unscrew 2 other screws-on of which sits beneath the hub on a ball joint thats all. I did replace it myself the other day, but my wheel was still tilting but no so bad. I measured both sides and compared them, and I found out my kuckle was damaged. And then I didn't feel like taking that apart, because i didn't want to mess anything up. I took it to the dealer and they charged me $565 dollars for the kunckle, bearing, alignment, and labor. They said 2 wheels that were bent "big time" were in the back.
And I did it under the spare car jack, yes i don't have one and too poor to buy one.
