    I am going to replace front:
    Upper control arm
    Sway bar end links
    Inner and outter tie rods
    Cv axel
    Lower control arm and all associated cam bolts and nuts

    is there a best order of operation to be most efficient? Thanks

    Really there isn't much to it. Just install it in reverse order. Removing your sway bar end links and LCA would help pulling your CV out by giving you a little more room but for everything else, it doesn't really matter truthfully. I wouldn't disassemble both sides at the same time. It helps to have a mirror to look into at if you don't have access to the repair manual.

    there is labor op overlap to do them at the same time.

    I found the most efficient way to deal with my sway bar and end links was to replace it into the dumpster.

    company came out with Kwiklinx or whatever that looks like the best option. But it’s around $700.
