doing the entire assembly is a lot more involved than just swapping an end.
If I'm remembering correctly you've got a good bit of DIY experience but you might consider just taking the car to a decent alignment shop for the work. There is zero reason to do this at the dealer but a good indy will probably be half of what the dealer wants and the car has to be aligned anyway.
The rest of it you can knock out no problem.

i have actually done an entire assembly before ..
and swaped a end or two or 3 but the dealer wouldnt do just the part and not the alignment since i was going to swap a couple other alignment parts at the same time.. i will take it to an alignment shop for an alignment once i am finnished.. now if only i can get mike at pure to answer his phone so i can order..
