Anything I might run into that I should know before I attempt this?

 

There are full how-to's on YouTube(and here)

 

This is something I posted in the How To section awhile back. I didnt do the write up but it is an excellent source of info.

 

I saw that and was actually going to use it for the procedure. I was wondering more along the lines of will there be anything I might run in to that might not be covered in the how to. Just wanting this to go as smooth as possible.

 

There is a video..... on YOUTUBE..........OF THIS VERY PROCEDURE. What more do you need besides someone to do it for you?

 

Hahahahaha I mean......
Awwwwwwww......

 

Forgive me.. I didn't realize I had to approve all of my posts through you.

I will check out the video however it does not hurt to ask to ensure I'm completely prepared to do it. Although if you want to come over and change them out feel free

 

Now, Now,, Lets not bust anybody's ball joints fellas.

What i ran into was that the ball joints would not in strait. here is my full write up:

As with every vehicle that has the amount of mileage that ours have, its a crap shoot. What I mean is the "How To" instructions that some one else did on their vehicle may or may not go as smooth as yours will. Reason being is we all drive differently. Some choose to baby their rides while other flog the living ***** out of theirs. You might have a part down there that is bent and will give you hell during the removal. Then again, most probably, you don't. The point is, be prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

Good Luck

 

always prepare for the worst. this is how mine were....

Yes I read your write up, you did all that on the trails?? I guess when your broke, your broke and cant move till its fixed. I have never had my ball joints come out looking like that though.

 

no.... the pins pulled out with the knuckles... But i had 10* chamber after they broke... Still drove home tho.

 

Been there before....
