photos of the work in progress. I should also add, if you're not replacing your brake pads, this is super easy. The pads just add a step.

Now it's onto the stabalizer links. BTW, anyone know if there is any particullar procedure when tightening down the suspension components with bushings such as the stabalizer links? Also, I checked out the sway bar bushing and will replace those too at some point even though they look allright. They're not cracked or anything at least but at $35, why not...

I told you that you could have done this job in your bathrobe!

Congrats!!!!!

On a different note changing the wheel bearing quieted down my front right suspension quite a bit. It is noticeable when I go over bumps that is not as loud as before. I think I will change the stabilizer links and then change the left front wheel bearing as well. I am unsure about the sway bar bushings as when I looked at them they looked okay, but it should not be hard to change them if I do want to change them...
