I would assume so, just no ABS or VSA.

Does anyone have the torque specs for the rear arms?

Thanks,

You don't need to take off the rear A arm, either way I believe the spec is 75.9 ft lb, and the spec for the LCA is 47. it is always good to use a little anti-seiz when putting everything back together. Make sure you get a alignment too.

I am not responsible with the outcome if you use theses specs.

I'm calling a performance shop tomorrow. It may be a little cheaper than the dealership and I doubt that they threaten to void my warranty.

I would, but I'm car-retarded and have no clue what I'm buying or what I did to break it. I was actually looking forward to doing this myself as I have paid other people to work on my cars in the past. Turns out, I'm really not all that handy, I haven't saved any money and I'm tearing up my car.

Everyone makes mistakes when they first start wrenching on cars. It's taking me a long time to get the skills and tools to be able to do pretty much anything on my car.

Ok, I went out to see if there was anything I could recognize as askew. On the passenger side, there's a thin black wire with some white writing or design on it. It leads from the wheel up to a black rubber plug in the wheel well, up to an orange box with two wires coming from the top of it in the engine bay. I must have pulled it through, because the plug was not in its hole and the wire has alot of give to it. Sound like something that would light up my dash?

The ABS wire is the only wire you are going find in the suspension area, so that's it.

See part #21/22
