working on the suspension
#2
-Jack
-Jack Stands
-Alcohol of choice
-Metric wrenches/ratchets (I don't know the sizes off-hand)
-Spring compressors for a MacPherson Strut
-Something to punch
Depending on the car, you might need a torch, reciprocating saw (sawzall), and other fun toys. Trust me, they sound like fun, but it's a bit better not having to resort to them. If you have to go this route, you'll need new bushings, bolts, and a clever way to press the bushings in without using a hydraulic press.
