An upper ball joint on the driver's side was barely alive. I figured fixing suspension is in order. We spent all day in the shop swapping.

Here is how you remove an upper ball joint.


Success: 2x upper / lower ball joints, tie rods, rotors and pads.


Then I took the truck to do wheel alignment. Front feels like new!

 

looks good! i was looking at new rotors and pads for my front and they get pricey.

 

When i did the upper a lowers on my 1st Gen, i had a torch on them for a good 15-20 mins, each, before we could get them to even start to come out, but it was worth it in the end lol

 

shop on ebay = save money I bought the whole suspension kit for $130 there, rotors were from Napa... $38 each... and pads... $80...

I'm glad that work was free ^_^

 

I went raybestos...nicer, thicker rotors...and, already painted black! Either way, it all works...
