Ball joints??

Ball joints.
I have to do ball joints on my truck. This si the first time i have done ball joints. What am i getting myself into? Any tips or tricks would be great. I looked for a sticky found nothing.

Is there a brand i should be looking for or a brand i should stay away from?

You want moog joints. I dont know any real tricks to make it any easier though.

Not exactly an easy job, but there's LOTS of good links out there to help

stick with moog joints. They are greaseable and they have a good warranty. Changing ball joints is a drawn out job. Be prepared to spend about 1/2 a day when you do it. I did mine about a year ago and its not hard but its not the easiest thing in the world to do.

Thanks everybody for the advice and links. I priced out Moog at $244.74. And if i have a hard time pressing them out and new ones in I have a machine shop that will do it for $60.00.

Just use a ball joint press and A impact it's not bad at all just dirty. Took me about 3 hours for both sides.

all done WOOHOO!!!!
Ball joint press would not touch them even with the torches. I took them to the machine shop they did it in a houre and a half for $30.00. The markes they left in the joints to get them out tells me no screw press would do it.
