Re: Upper Ball Joint Replacements
The only "adjustable" ball joints (for 4x4s) I have seen are lowers for Dana 60s, but you shouldn't need anything like that. Just simply replacing the stock style ball joints should fix it. It is a rather labor intensive job that you really don't wnat to have to do again, so stick with a good name brand. I like Moog parts, but they are pricey....
Are you doing this yourself? If so, pay attention to everything along the way. Axle-joints, wheel bearings, spindle bearings, etc. should all be inspected very carefully "while you are in there". On a truck this old, I would probably just replace the axle joints, since there really is not good way to visually inspect them w/o taking them completely apart.....at which point you might as well go new. I would also replace the lower ball joints at the same time as the uppers, once again because you already have it apart.
