Mine just went through a suspension refresh. Knowing what I know now, I would do the front first. The rear was still okay on mine. Fresh giubos and carrier bearing made a difference. Replace the shocks and see how it drives. Replacing the rose ball joint does require a special tool. I'm glad I spent money buying one. Replacement was easy. The rear shafts were still good. I could have left them on. A complete refresh is time consuming. Especially with trying to align all the parts back up to tighten it up.
