THe necessary tools are straight forward. However, you will need a coil spring compressor. Most parts stores will lend or rent them to you.

Please be careful and follow the directions that come with the tool. A coil spring could kill you if it gets loose and hits you.

Also, the vehicle should be aligned after the job is done.

Let me know if you have other questions.
