The right rear side of suspension is damaged from pot hole and is throwing camber alignment off where inside of tire is wearing. I ordered 5 piece suspension parts online...(control arm..trailing arm....wishbone....roll over strut w/bushing....and track control arm. This is just for right rear. Shop wanted to charge $900....is it just remove old parts and install new ones so that I can do myself at home???
What's your level of mechanical competence? None of the control arms are difficult to replace if you have the right tools and some sense of what you're doing. I'd strongly recommend doing both sides, as there is certainly wear on the undamaged side at this point unless the car has extremely low mileage. Regardless, you will need to have the car aligned (find a shop with a good rack) after the parts are replaced.

It's not that hard, in theory. But it is a giant pain in the a**. Having the right tools is key, but if you haven't done it on any car, I'd recommend you pay someone to do it right the first time. Theres a reason why ppl change $900 (although I wouldn't pay that much) good luck
