Anything I should know installing new suspension?
 
I've got my igor plates. I've got my springs and shocks. I've got some other miscellaneous suspension things (strut bearings and whatever)

Any special tools needed?

The strut cap nut can be a pain and there is a special tool for it, but it can be removed and installed with a pipe wrench. Everything is pretty straight forward, but the Bentley is a big help.

The Bentley manual is the most important specialty tool for the UrS.

Order rear links, there's a 99% chance they're frozen and you won't be able to get the car aligned.

rear links? what do you mean by rear links? I know the control arms are new as of November

Also, is the strut cap nut that slotted piece of **** like a VW? I have that if it is.

Please try to reply to the post you're talking about, not your initial post, it's very confusing. The rear tie rod link is located on the rear suspension.

why can't I edit my existing posts?

My tie rod end links are brand new.

Then I'd assume you're not using threaded view, change your prefs.

Apparently they've turned off editing for some bizarre reason. It was enabled before,.......I guess they want more clutter.
