all of that stuff bar the front sway bar d bushes are pretty straight forward mate.

to get to the bolts to take the bracket off you need to lower the main rack crossmember down a bit.

Not a problem mate. I will do it all for $2900......Kidding. Gimme a call and we will sort something out. Pedders are known for 'exagerating' on what actually needs replacing.

Front ball joints are a pain in the arse, has anyone figured out what needs to be done to have them replaced, apart from a new set of lower control arms?

I replaced both ball joints on my car, pressed the old ones out and pressed in new ones.

I have noticed a few posts saying they've changed the lower arms to fix this , I guess it helps if you have a press.

Just letting you know the ball joint alone can be replaced with a press. Edit * this is on a GSR. EVO 2 3 have a different arm.
