I bought a front suspension kit and new struts for my '98 Altima. It's "everything must go" weekend. I'll be replacing struts, lower control arms, sway bar links, and tie rods.

Since everything is coming out, I'm not sure about the easiest/best way to do this work. :confused: Take everything out and then put new in? Or maybe, replace struts, then tackle LCA and other parts? How would you guys tackle this?

I would personally try to knock it all out in one shot if possible. If it takes longer than expected, do the driver side on a Saturday and the passenger side on Sunday. No sense taking everything apart, doing partial completion on 1 side, and then having to go back in a second time to finish.
