LCA install advise

LCA's should be in tonight.

I was wondering, has anyone done a complete LCA swap before?

If so, what specific tools do I need?

Any thing I need to watch out for?

Is anyone has a schematic or a site with install pics?

Thanks.

Thanks for the links

I was looking for a set of instructions with pics etc.

Unfortunately the above links do not have enough information to help me. The cross reference between the different gens is infact confusing.

I think I'm going to have to take pics and do my own write up.

Go for it, people always say that there isn't a "real" write-up so it'll be useful, but IMO, those links along with a FSM are sufficient to do the job.

Send Irish44J a PM too, because he's done it before.

Located on southside... right by southside and the 95S exit...

Right now my plan is to do it over 2 days. Hoping to start sometime this week...

During this week, I'll basically collect/buy/borrow all the parts I will need.

If you are looking for parts... goto the coggin nissan parts guy on phillips.. he price matched the internet/DaveB price and sold me the oem control arms with bushings and lower ball joints for 150 each
