need assistance 4 my bushings

ASSISTANCE Suspension, Brakes & Wheels

ill start off with the fact that i just bought my first DA about a 2 weeks ago.the car drove home fine, but 2 days later i hear a clankings metal on metal sound when i go over bumps…assume that its balljoints but take it to a mechanic just to confirm that theres nothing else… 1st mechanic quotes me at $900 to replace:
front right lca
balljoints
trailing arm bushings
tie rod ends
sway bar bushings

the second mechanic quoted me at $1400 to replace:

“every fawkin bushin’ in the car”

(f/r lca, trailing arms,shock “caps”, et cetera)
he wanted to charge me $300 just for the right rear lca.

i dont have the money to get all this done by a pro so im forced to do it myself…not to mention i dont have access to a press or anything so that makes it even more difficult.
im looking for the fastest and clostest to fail proof method that i can find…i only have the driveway for a week or so.

btw…i plan on using the es prothane bushing kit.

I NEED TO FINISH THIS ASAP!!! i cant afford to have anymore down time.i need to know whats gonna go it smoothly and whats not. i just need the right rear done for now, those are in the worse condition.

btw

i checked everything and both mechanics were right unfortunatly, so i have to do balljoints too. ive never dont balljoints or bushings before so please bear with me.

Most all the things you need to do can be done in the drive way you will need tool.

is it the same for control arm bushings? i gotta do those too.

The control arms, rear lower, front lower you can burn out the old bushing, or push it out. If you burn them out then cut the metal outer sleeve with a hacksaw. Take the hacksaw apart put the blade throw the hole, saw the sleeve, take the saw apart knock out the sleeve.

There are some write ups on how to do it on this site.

you dont need the sleeve? i thought you did?

not for the control arm bushings. for the rear trailing arm bushing, yes you need the sleeve inact.
