Sure, but it will take a while, ball joints are backordered and im nr 27 in queue.

Rear kit is arriving in a few hours, but new trailing arms doesnt arrive until a month (container by sea shipping)

Sucks to live overseas with an american car!

“The waiting is the hardest part.” But I think I wouldn’t mind waiting on the trailing arms. And I am putting that off though they need to be done.

The Thing is, i am waiting on brand new TAs, but the bushings kit i bought included TA bushings as well.
Im thinking about selling my old TAs with new bushings installed. Might as well change the bushing and get a month of driving out of it.
​​​​​​
​​​​​​BUT, it is still mountain bike season, so why do the work twice. Putting it back together again. Im really torn lol.

I see your point. Been there too. The longer it's on jack stands the harder it gets. The mountains can wait! Lol!
