I need a guide to help me replace my control arms, tie rods, idlers etc. I’ve never done any of that before and I need as much help as possible. YouTube is cool, but I like mechanical breakdowns too. Is there anywhere I can view a diagram of that complete system?

Hello,

See attached for the replacement procedures for the control arms (upper and lower), tie rod end. It has all the torque specifications as well.
Unfortunately, the idler arm replacement procedure is not available. I have attached the torque specifications for the bolts.
