First off my XJ is on 4.5" of lift with 33" tires. When turning and hitting jumps I'm getting a popping sound. I believe it is the ball joints. What is a good aftermarket part that might handle the bigger tires than the stockers for the D30?

Is a ball joint replacement difficult? I've never done one in the past but pretty mechanical elsewhere.

Thanks

There are a few write-up's here and on NAXJA.org.

Not to bad if you have a quality ball joint press.

Spicer - $50 per side through Serious

Rent the press from your local parts store. It's something like $160 to rent but you get it back when you turn it in. All in all, not that hard. Just time consuming.

EDIT: LOL, same responses all at the same time. Gotta love it.

Loving the quick help guys. If the weather clears up might attempt this weekend.

If you have basic mechanical knowledge you'll be fine make sure you torque to proper specs

if you're really hard on your rig, i suggest picking up a set of synergy ones from poly.
