Can't really see anything that makes them especially hard to do... The hardest bit is finding bushes to actually fit! I did my LCA inner bushes recently, but couldn't find any bushes, so grabbed a bar of urethane and turned a couple up. Having a press and rattlegun handy meant the whole operation was dead simple.

There is a circlip on the lower balljoint that is usually covered in grease and impossible to see. After getting the circlip off its just press out press in.

Castor rods are a sweet PITA.
I think i posted the original thing, and it may have been on the old Cressida forums. but i thought i had posted it over here too.

Castor rods
No-one does LCAs yet. Although there was the offer of getting some done up when i got the Castor rod bushes from them. They just need an original to copy.
