    I will be replacing my stock uca's with spc/lr. What size sockets/wrenches do I need to make sure I have? Don't want to get halfway into it and find out I don't have what I need. Specifically, oem upper ball joint retaining nut size, abs bracket bolt size(s), upper control arm retaining bolt head and nut sizes.

    Just pick up one of those impact socket sets from harbor freight and you'll have everything you need. I found when I do front end suspension work, I always end up using my oversized impact sockets.

    You need a really big socket for the top nut on the UCA, IIRC it's 32mm

    That big huh? I'm tackling that job in a week or two. Good thing I have an axle nut set.
