Ball Joints
Folks,
As I stated in "Tires and Wheels" I'll be picking up some new rubber for my 95 4x4. (Thanx for the feedback on the rubber too)
Before I put any on I need to do my ball joints.. I've read in here most lean towards the Moog brand so I'll be going with these. Couple questions I have...
Do I nave to pull the hubs to get my upper and lowers out?
Is there any write up (How To) in here on best practices for doing the ball joints like a walk through or something??
While I'm under there and have everything opened up and jacked up (my momma didn't raise no fool I have stands)... I think I might do all the ball joints under there... is there anywhere that I can find a list of all of them so I can order them at the same time as my upper and lowers??
Any special tools I'll need to obtain other than a pickle fork and normal hand tools (I do have an air impact) and I do have a drill to drill the stock rivets out of the uppers.. lowers have already been done so they're bolts.
Last but not least... any "Tricks" or "Do's and DON'TS"
Thanx folks!

RE: Ball Joints
if you are going to rebuild the front you better do the rear also or it will be like driving a heavy boat, I got two blocks from the shop after doing the front and about rolled it in a turn.
I spent about $700on parts at dealer cost.
