I went to get an alignment yesterday and was told that I need to replace the lower control arms, tie rods and tie rod ends. I replaced a lower control arm last year and the other one looks fine. My question is has anyone just bought the bearings that go on them and pressed them in? If so, how difficult is it to do and about how long does it take?

 

can you jack the car up to check this stuff yourself?
you are looking for anything being loose.
do you "feel " anything loose while driving?
