Sorry guys have another question, not sure if I should ask 1 big long question with the help I needing or just do they seperate...

What size is the socket that I will need to do the ball joints on the 4x4? My dad said the threads sometimes comeout with the old one cause of rust..is he right?

 

There is a specific ball joint socket, regular sockets won't work. It is best to buy your replacement ball joint then match up the socket to it. There might be different sizes for the ball joint sockets, I'm not to sure. Some autoparts stores like Autozone rents out tools, check there.
