Spent a total of $650 on parts, started Saturday afternoon, finished Monday and approved as-of today - and did all using light air tools, hand-tools (grunt) and rentals...
Left and right knuckles/slides and rotors reworked, hubs, axle u-joints, upper and lower ball-joints. Steering (tight-twitchy) and stopping (locks-up on a dime) feels like new - which helped in idiot/accident avoidance today!
