A few things...

You'll want an impact wrench (battery or pneumatic) with a big ass impact socket for the front axle nut. Get the entire assembly (hub, bearings, bracket) that just bolts on and fits over the splined axle. Don't dick with disassembly of a hub.

If the metal mounts are good and it's just the bushing, should be no more than 4-500 including parts. The hardest thing about doing it yourself is getting everything lined up to reinstall. You'll need a floor jack to offload the motor.

Weird thing about a transverse engine is that you do the serpentine from underneath the car on the passenger side. You remove the tire for sure, but may need to remove the inner skirt as well. Find the tensioner pulley and loosen. There may be a diagram under the hood, but for sure you can find one on the interwebs.

Good luck!
