So the front end has gotten pretty bad on my 96 4x4 5.2, so I'm going to try to replace the tie rod ends, ball joints, and wheel bearings this afternoon. Any tips on doing this job? I've never done front end work like this before. I'm going to follow the manual but I'd rather not take the control arms off.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!

 

check the manual but i think youll need to unwind the torsion bars. seems like need a special socket and impact gun for the top joint. bottom joint you can rent cclamp press from autozone. only reason to remove aarms is if your replacing the rubber bushings.if your axle tube seals are leaking or old then i might be good to change thos since your that far in
