this weekend? Replaced rear shocks, wishbones, control arms, sway bar links and sway bar bushings. and ONE ball joint before my ball joint tool broke!!!!!!!!!!! i will PAY for the other side to be replaced. total pain in the rear. the part involving lining up the integral link. HOLY cow. vise grips (like on the video) ended up helping but it ain't a picnic.

Busy, busy. You can get a ball joint removal tool free at most auto part stores that works very well. They require a deposit that is refunded when you return the tool.

Thanks mate!

Well,i can't really tell you how much did i use,i just took out the plastics,and take it with my self in the folie shop,it was about 1,5m long,and 0,5m wide piece of folie..
Actually it depends on your skills (cutting around,etc..) with this stuff,i'm doing this for a long time,i asked a car wrapper,they would do it about 100$.

Good luck!:thumbup:
