Since you need to ask, I would suggest that you don't have the necessary skill. Being a mechanic is a skilled job, you can't just get on and do it. If you did, the car may very well be unroadworthy. Think on !!!

You aren't going to like this.
Yes you can by obtaining most parts from a breakers. Yes you can do it but obviously haven't a clue how and probably no tools at all.
The implications are if you have aan accident where a third party is involved on inspection they find the vehicle is un-roadworthy because of previous damage not being repaired they may not pay out leaving you to pay the third party damages by rendering your insurance void.
If assement shows no damage to the chassise or tracking then yes you can do.
