Hey all,

The ball joints on my '91 240 SE are going, and I'm considering buying the whole front suspension kit from FCPGroton and taking care of everything (bushings, sway bar links, ball joints, and maybe even a new sway bar). I'm relatively new to 240 repairs, and this is my daily driver, so I was wondering: how would you rate the difficulty of this repair, from novice to expert? Should I be replacing both front and rear sway bars if I upgrade (the sway bar) to prevent understeering issues? As far as the bushings are concerned, exactly how necessary are the special tools for pressing them on and off? Do you have any tips to make this repair easier/go more smoothly?

Thanks for all your help!
