    You will need an alignment after doing it, also flushing your ps fluid is usually a good idea as well.

    ^^ this is all true, it shouldnt be to hard just be sure to drain the system before you remove the rack.

    there's some monkey busy involved....but doable and worth the 500 you'll save in labor.
