Re: Replace balljoints?

Look at how the top ball joints mount to the a-arm. If they are riveted they are most likely original. If they are held on with bolts/nuts they have been replaced at some point. Cutting out the rivets is not impossible but not fun either. If they are good lube em up and keep running em either way!
