Okay. Great. Let us know if you need more info. Just make sure you get an alignment after they are replaced just to make sure you don't do damage to your tires. Thanks

You can do a home alignment for the toe adjustment but the other angles, camber and caster are near impossible to get correct. You can find a shop in most areas to do an alignment for less then $100.00 and it is money well spent because if you try it and get it wrong you will ruin your tires then you will need to pay for an alignment and tires.

As for the heater core, they are not the easiest but can be done at home. However, we need to get a new post started for that because we need to keep each post to one topic so that others can find the answers as well and they won't find them under different topics.
