18mm wrench + 18mm socket and rachet for LCA to subframe bolt.

24mm socket for LCA to torsion arm nut. vise grips to hold the torsion arm if needed.

Also 18mm socket for the crown nut on the tie rod end. 18mm wrench for endlink nut and 8mm (deep is preferred) socket for the hex head of the endlink.

Edit: You don't need impact tools for the nuts I listed above.

You'll be the same off with out them if you have a 3ft or so pipe to put over your 1/2" ratchet. You'll probably need something like that to break them free. IIRC you should be able to get an impact on the bolt head of the LCA to subframe bolt/nut assembly.
