question regarding front end checks; upper ball joint
#12
chill out there homeboy. I looked at all the pages and read most of everything, my computers not the best in the world, sometimes I cant view links. I watched the same video, Im just not 100% comfortable dismantling everything. since i dont have rivets on the lowers it should be easier to do. I still want to further my understanding of all the peice involved in it, everything is mentioned but i my self and still a little foggy on a few things; due to my inability to view all links. you have to realize this is my only means of transportation, Argo I don't want to get into it and realize and or find I'm not equipped with the tools/ parts to complete the job. Additionally I cannot afford to miss a step( greasing something) and have to turn around and do it again in a matter of months. I've still got a good ways left in school, this job needs to be done right.
That's all. Nothing personal, as stated I have some know how but not a lot.

If this is your first time two or three days unless you have a friend or two.
It will be easier being the bottom rivet's are gone already they are the hardest to do of everything.
You will need an alignment after everything
First time is always the hardest the new ball joints should be lubed but always inject more to be sure.
How are the control arm bushings if doing all this you should be sure they are not needed.

Can I check the bushing by kicking my tire I realize this is a truck so it may not do much, but Im not sure of how to check the FCAB
About the tie rods, which end goes bad, the guys at the shop said "outer" but If t just makes sense to do them all at the same time might as well. I'm going to either buy the tool or rent it for the upper/inner tie rod since I'm sure that one day I'll be doing this job on my vehicle or one of my sisters cars.
