I won't touch a SINGLE product if it has the Airtex name on it. They've been such a failure point with their pumps that I don't trust anything they make... wich is a LOT in regard to sensors and sending units. I just don't trust 'em.

I wish you better luck than me lol.

I would be dropping it at a shop tonight but some idiot blew up a blade chassis at 11pm last night and I'm still trying to fix it.

So its still in pieces in the garage.

Oh fun...

Yeah, lol, I'm debating whether I really feel like messing with the ball joints. I may just farm it out, been awhile since I've done a set on a jeep, don't remember enjoying it much.

But I do have the press kit still... somewhere.

Put the new ball joints in the freezer overnight, and take them out one at a time as needed.

The old ones come out easier with a blowtorch applied to the knuckle.

Ans make sure your angles are right
