I want to replace all the bushing in the front end of my Jeep for steering and suspension and was wondering if I could do this myself in a day or is it something I need specialty tools for am much better off getting a shop to do it?

 

I personally wouldn't try to do it all in one day. Id pick an area and go from there, working on both sides equally. Also, freezing bushings makes them smaller but I dont know if it works on rubber. I do know it does on poly.

 

With things like control arms, you are better off buying all new arms (only will cost a few extra bucks over bushings themselves) and will include the bushings and save yourself hours of pain. Ball joints themselves are probably 8 hours of work if you've never done it before. Tie rod ends wouldn't take all too long (couple hours tops). Track bar is a quick swap.

I don't know what all you plan on doing

 

X2 my bushings were shot it was 100 more to buy new adjustable upper and lower arms so that's what I did

 

Well I decided that I want to life my Jeep, nothing serious just a 3.5" lift but I want all the steering up front to be in top notch shape before I go putting bigger tires on the thing. Figured I would start by replacing all bushings.
