Default Bump steer mod, easy ?

As title, is it a DIY sort of job or left to the pro's?

Whilst at it, anti lift kit?

Either of these mods require alignment to be redone.

bump steer kit is a very easy job to do yourself.the hardest part of fitting it will be seized nuts.make sure you have some wd40 and maybe some heat to hand just incase of seized nuts.alk isnt very hard to do either,but this will be made easier with ramps or a pit.i have fitted them all on mine.

This is a kit that corrects the angles of the steering components after you've lowered the car. As Arf says, both jobs are relatively straight-forward. Also worth noting that the new ball joints reuse the cones from the old ones if you have alloy wishbones and these are an interference fit so can be a PITA to remove. I worked in a wedge style ball joint splitter to get the old ones off.
