Default Toe Arm Replacement

I am lowering my 4s and realized through the folks in the know here that I would have toe problems when aligning. As a result I bought some adjustable toe arms. In my pursuit of saving a buck, are they easy enough to swap out or should I just have my mechanic do when he lowers? If I can save a $100 without much headache, I am all for it. If there are likely issues to occur, I will pass the job on.

I saw a great video on it but sometimes it not as easy it appears.

Thanks,

David

Bigest issue is corrosion on the sub frame bolt. Sometimes it requires some heat and some room to swing a hammer.

eh, pretty easy job. mark your eccentrics or if you've just done suspension, eyeball it to give yourself some toe in while going to alignment shop.

spray some penetrating oil, wait an hour or 2 and get to it.
