 did was (in order) unbolt and hang the brake caliper, unbolt the sway bar
nd, pop the tie rod end, unbolt the top A arm and the top of the shock, let
he assembly drop down and unbolt the bottom A arm bolts and pull the entire
 or R front suspension assembly away from the car.  Swap the bushings right
here, and reverse the process.  No popping of ball joints and messing with
amber and toe (though you'll need to get an alignment anyway).

>>>If you already have poly bushings installed, you can do this job in a matter 
of minutes, not hours.  Just support the spindle/rotor on a jack, unbolt the upper control arm from the chassis, swap 
the bushings, re-attach them to the car.  Then unbolt the lower control arm from 
the chassis, swap those bushings, reattach, and drive to your friendly alignment shop. :>)
