Ball joints...first time...ideas?

[John316]

I am getting ready to do ball joints on my truck. I have never done them before, and I have read the articles that I can.

How much different will it be for me because I have a RWD truck (and not Fx4 that is in the writeups). Is it the same basic principle?

I am going with Moog joints.

Any suggestions?

I am going to do a brake job at the same time.

Thanks,

John

I believe since you are 2wd you have twin I beam correct?

Its not that bad, just get a big hammer, or better yet the ford tool, makes life ALOT easier for 60 bucks. Its really straight forward. Its the tools that get ya.

Thanks for the reply.

That is kinda what I figured. Not a big deal. You are correct...twin I beams.

I will see if ORielly's has the press. Good tip.

Thanks again,

John
