I am doing mine next weekend so I will let you know how it goes.
I've ordered the control arms + bushings, they should arrive somewhere next week.

Since the front tyres had cracked sidewalls i've also ordered 4 new tyres (Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance 185/65 R15 88H), at EUR 60 / piece they'd better be sticky like glue.

I hope you have an easy time replacing your control arms, gl & hf!
