Getting ready to order the suspension kit to replace all the control arms and bushings and stuff. Should I change my wheel bearings too? The books make it look like a real pain and since the easy stuff seems to end up being a real pain for me, I'm nervous about what this will end up being.
If you are totally disassembling your suspension, you can take the spindle assembly to a machine shop and have the bearings replaced cheaply. Biggest cost on doing the bearings on one these cars is the special tooling to do it without removing the suspension from the car; as you will have it apart already, I would do it to save in the long term.
