Is it advisable to replace all ball joints ? Or is it adjustable

Do I have to replace ball joints at same time I do tie rods? Or can I do tie rods now and wait couple weeks to save up money for the ball joints?

I see a listing on eBay for alloy USA set of four pcs ball joints, 200 bucks? It say its designed for lifted jeeps. What do anyone think of that one?

Jack up your front end. Make sure both front wheels are off the ground. Then take something like a tube or pry bar and shove it under the tire and go up and down. Check for play.

Thanks. I ll check this weekend when I do the tie rods.

Do I stick the pry bar under the tire itself or under the knuckle ?

Under the tire. You'll be able to see the play on the ball joint when you pry up
