Default Anyone Install their own control arm?

Like the title says, more specifically the front lower driver's side. Is it just bolts or is it more complicated than that?

You'll need a "ball joint separator" for the lower ball joint, the one with the castle nut. The two inner bolts (one is a bolt within a larger adjustable collar) set the caster/camber anngles, you'll surely have to get re-aligned. Other bolt is the main shock bolt, and the sway bar link needs to be disconnected also.
