Possible, but not smart - it's easy to disconnect the lower ball joint, and
having the lower A-arms out on the bench makes it a lot easier and quicker
to change the bushes and get them correctly positioned (affects the castor
angle and hence all other angles). The hard part of this is anyway getting
the road springs out to avoid the big SPROING when you pull the inner pivot
bolt (to do which you need to drop the front cross-member, at least on my
SIIs).

Generally, it's always best to take an assembly apart when you work on some
major part of it; there's no better way to assess the condition of the
other parts, and no better time to replace worn ones...
