| Not too hard at all. 3 hours tops, followed by complaining about how the mechanic was trying to rape you with his prices and how you saved a buttload of money. |

how hard
I've put off fixing the front suspension on my truck for too long, and now HAVE to fix it. I've gone to different places to get quotes, and the labor alone is over a grand.
 I will not pay that.So here is the deal. Am I getting in over my head??? What are the parts I'm replacing? Inner and outer tie rod ends, tie rod adjusting sleeves, upper and lower ball joints, upper and lower control arm shaft kits, idler arm and pitman arm. How many times have I done this before? Not once. I do have air tools and sockets and wrenches. Ball joint seperator and tie rod end puller. Do I need anything else other than a spring compressor? My luck? I changed the steering wheel on my truck and the ignition switch immediately went out, how's that for luck?  Todd
