    unless you have done it before and have the necessary tools you should take it to a suspension joint and pay them to do it along with a 4 wheel alignment.

    as much it is cheaper to do yourself it is better to get the pros to do it.

    called Castor/Cam kits cos they do both jobs on depending where they are fitted... you have 4 bushes.... 1 kit = 2 bushes... best to fit 2 kits.. Repco costs $98 each kit..... i was told its 2 to 3 hour job to do for the pro's.... $65 for 4 wheel alignment... need to align the front wheels again too... make sure you ask the alignment place about setting the rear axcle end float 1mm to 1.5 mm i think... or the axcles will push your diff bearings into the diff... that would be very nasty stuff... fill your fuel tank up or put 50 klgs weight in the boot... helps to copy a loaded weight....
