First big DIY for a beginner

Happy Friday everyone.

I am more or less a weekend wrencher who’s willing to learn more instead of paying big bucks to a shop.

My plan is to replace upper and lower control arms, as well and front and rear shocks. Optimistically want to have it all done by Monday evening.

I wanted to go ahead and start this thread now because I’m sure I’ll be crying for help.

My biggest concern is the LCAs, and messing up the alignment.

I am considering buying the SPC alignment cam bolts from Auto Zone. I know I need to mark the plate and the frame to make sure the new bolts go into the same place. Is there anything else to be aware of?

Also if you have any other tips to share with a beginner on replacing upper or lower arms and shocks, I would greatly appreciate it.

Going to Harbor Freight to get a few more tools and plan to get started this evening or in the morning.

Replacement parts are 1A auto arms and KYB shocks.

Thanks in advance!
