hey thought change this arm himself. you just have to loosen these two bolts. or you have to take down anything before?

That's pretty much it, two bolts. You probably have to use a ball joint puller because it will be in there tight.

After replacing the arms, you will need to lower the car to its normal "road" height before tightening the bolt on the right in the picture (yellow arrow).

feels like the entire left front suspension will drop down when you remove the strut. it holds up the whole paketet.bli not tie rod bent if you do not remove these before?
