Hm, could someone send me the link to the best place to buy the control arm and bushings?

The auto shop quoted me $400 each arm for the front, and said they were about to snap off and the bushing were completely done and messed up. So before I embark on an over $1000 repair, I'm wondering if I can buy the parts and have the shop install them.

IIRC - obviously take the door panel and plastic off. You will see the motor held on by 3 nuts (12mm I think), take those off, disconnect motor. The window is held on by 2 nuts or clips (can't remember). If you look down the window channel with the door panel off and a light, you'll see them.
Installation is the reverse. Shouldn't take more then 45 minutes really.

Hi every one, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread, just joined today and this is my first posting. I recently bought a 94 GS300 and now is leaking water from the back of the engine. There is no water in the oil or shaking of the car. Any ideas where the water is leaking through? I can't physically see it. Thanks in advance.

Can someone please add a trans removal d.i.y.! I know someone has done this before. My main concern is making sure I disconnect all the right wires so I don't deploy the airbags and do more unnecessary damage and where the wires are located!
