Ball-Joints done!!

[woodyjim]

Well, it wasn't all that pretty but I got 'er done! Turns out my nephew has not actually done this exact job before so the learning curve was pretty steep. I spent 3 hours on the d-side mostly learning what not to do and that I needed to rent some tools. After that, 30 minutes on the p-side did the trick! I decided to just do the lower joints for now so I can my alignment done and get back on the road, but I will definitely be going back in later to do the whole front end. There was one problem though and I couldn't find anyone to give me a solution at the time. I couldn't get the rubber dust boots seated all the way. I had to improvise as it was and was only able to get them on about half way. Other than that things went pretty well. I would never have even started this project without you guys backing me up. Thanks again for all the tips, info and pics.

hey it feels good to do it yourself, nice job, when you go back to rebuild at least you know what to expect.. the rubber dust boot should work it's way on, after a while....again nice job...

Glad to hear you tackle the job with success. You'll probably notice a difference after the alignment. Time for the next project.
