Al,
My vote is to go for it.? I did and I had never tackled anything like it
before.? It is pretty straightforward and the list is always here to help you
get through it.? The best advice I received was to do one side at a time.? This
eliminates mixing up parts from one side to the other and gives you a reference
is you are unsure part way through the repair.? Plus you get the "I DID IT!"
sense of accomplishment and bragging rights.

Subject: [6pack] Front end rehab?
Listers,
I need to rebuild my front end with the following parts lists:
tie rod end set
bottom trunnion r/h and l/h assemblies
ball joint pair
major suspension kit
all parts are coming from Moss for $301.55
My question is : as a backyard mechanic who has never done a front end
job is this doable or should I get it done professionally for 10 hours of
estimated labor ($800)?
