1st time doing front end work

posted by  someone claiming to be what the?!?! on  Wed Nov 12 07:02 CST 2003 [RELATED]

What's the best order to do these things and what can I do by myself/need help? Both my wrists and elbows are disabled. I don't have a lot of strength in them, but if I can find the right tools and leverage I've had lots of luck doing my own work. Don't have access to a lift, just jackstands.

replacing:
**both ball joints
**both outer tie rods
**both steering links
**both steering boots
**right upper strut mount/bushing (can I replace just one or do I have to do both sides?) Should I replace front shocks while I'm there? Is it shocks or strut inserts?

maybe doing inner tie rods, too. Can't remember how they look.
thanks. think i can do this in one weekend?
