hey all, I am having a problem trying to figure out what is the cheapest way to fix my car. I need to install a control arm, install new shocks/struts, install steering rack and control arm bushings, and sway arms with bushings. I don't have enough to buy all the parts and install all at once.
Does anyone know what would be the order in doing all of this.....like should I do the control arm, then all bushings, and then shocks or what. I don't want to pay twice for the same labor.

replace the most broken parts first.
obviously labor would be cheapest doing it all at once. getting each thing done separately will cost you the most.
i recommend trying to do some of the work yourself. most of the things on your list are fairly easy.
another thing to keep in mind is that you should get an alignment after doing any suspension work.

Thanx guys, after reading some of the DIY's I did not know it would be that simple. Just need to find a ball joint fork. Right now my LCA on the driver side is bad
Ohh something else that I read but cant find now is about interchanging parts
If I got the mk4 lower and upper control arms can I still use SC3 coilovers and sway bar, b/c I was not going to change the rears, just install new bushings.
