Re: Ball Joint, tips advice?
The seal on the outer axle shaft is just a solid rubber ring with a "lip" that contacts the back of the spindle. It usually come as a set with the steel flange that supports it. You don't necessarily have to replace the steel part, if yours is ok.
As far as the sockets, I got mine at my local NAPA store. Seems to me that they were about $20 or so, but that was 20 years ago too.
Oh, another thing (while you are in there), check the movement of the axle joints. They should be smooth and fairly easy to move. They tend to get stiff over time, since they are not really serviceable.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....
The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
