  1. My big question is should I ahead and replace the whole control arm. Seems "easy" and hopefully I won't have deal with that part of the suspension for a while. I'm also going to change the wheel bearings. Are they pressed bearings?
  2. The R53 Pocket Rocket needs to have the control arm bushings (L/R), front ball joints (L/R) and front wheel assembly (L/R) replaced. Having a shop do it will cost around 2k as opposed to the $800 parts cost. The parts supplier says it is a DYI project and said it takes patience and half a day of work. I've never done this kind of work before, BUT I'm a quick learner and am willing to it all if someone is willing to guide me. Any takers? I'm new to the club.
