Hey i already ordered everything the shop told me i needed. They found the parts for 700 dollars used and i decided to hunt them on my own and got everything for 254 dollars. After i went to pick my car back up they said the coat of fixing was close to 1200 but i recently got the car and im still trying to get some money saved. So after they told me that it was the right rear upper control arm, right rear lower control arm and the right rear knuckle, they said that those are the parts that are visually damaged and i want to know what other parts could need replacement.

Nice. Yeah you can easily tell the wheel isn't sitting right. And I haven't replaced control arms on an S2K, only Bimmers, I think you could do it yourself than get an alignment. $ave the money

With a ball joint separator it's easy to remove everything in the suspension. It's usually the knuckle that gets damaged
