Huge Difference
Just replaced all of the ball joints and unit bearings on my ZJ a few days ago, everything was from Rockauto and good quality stuff. There was only one ball joint that had some play and the bearings were still ok, but with 215k on the clock, I'm sure they were on borrowed time. Man what a difference in the steering and feel! It feels nice and tight and no longer wanders all over the place. I highly recommend changing the ball joints and bearings if your ZJ is feeling a little Squirrley and spooky.

glad to hear everything tightened up!
