I just ordered new front Upper and lower ball joints. how 2 of them have the bolts and holes for mounting them but 2 of them do not have the the brackets no way to mount them. how do you tell witch one's are Upper or lower one's. are they the same parts or are they different. can you put a lower one in the upper.

 

It's been a couple of years for I'm thinking that the top ones bolt in. No?

 

You got the wrong parts for the lower, those lower ball joint without the brackets are for rear wheel drive vehicles only.

If you bought them as a set then both upper and lower ball joints are ONLY for 2WD vehicles.

 

I'm getting ready to do a gear swap. While at it I'm doing a new idler, tie rod ends, and ball joints. I'm ordering from Amazon the upper control arms with ball joints,, & lower ball joints, with tie rod ends as a kit $124 free shipping. But make sure they are 4x4 if that's what you have pretty much everything is different on 2wd.
