If you're doing this much work, get a Chassis Service Manual for your car. You'll need this book for the torque specs to properly (and safely) reassemble the suspension.

Joe is right on the money with a chassis service manual. I bought a reproduction, only thing tough is the electrical is in black and white. The other thing to add, I always replace the hardwear, nuts, washers
LOCK washers (especially).You can try eeeeeeeebay for a manual, mine was around $70, and just to add, it has been well used. You also might check the ball joints at that time.
