Just finished and got home, still in grease monkey clothes. Overall the removal and install is simple. The only problem i ran into was on the ball joint itself. I don't know if this pertains to all years, mine is a 2004 coupe sport model. But on the new compression/strut rods i order they were missing the little cone's that go over the threaded stud of the ball joint. I had to press these off my old rods and install them on my new ones. I'm not sure if just time made them stick or what, but they slipped on the new rods easy. I'll try to write up a DYI later if anyone is interested. HAPPY WRENCHING!!!

 

I would appreciate it if you did a DIY...I need to replace my passenger side one VERY soon...

 

I would just replace both sides at once, as opposed to doing one side now...then the other in a matter of months. I will type one up for you tonite if time permits me too. It is Saturday nite here..haha.
