Hi all have a couple questions.
1) do stock lower ball joints have retainer C clips
as i know mine are stock and never been changed as i have owned it from brand new . and i dont see them like the moog replacement ones i bought.
2) how much of a pain is it to remove the lower control arms / torsion bar to replace the bushings on control arm.
thanks

So I have replaced upper and lower BJs. Not sure of the difference but it might be important to note 4WD vs 2wD. I'm the latter. I don't recall any C clamps or removing lower control arms. I do remember grinding off those cursed rivets and popping the joints with a HF separator tool. BTW, the harbor freight 10 buck angle grinder, air chisel and the separator tools all work to this day.

 

Thanks for the info.
its a 4wd with shocks and torsion bars.
Factory lower ball joints do not have C clips they had hammered over spots on top came out pretty easily for being in for almost 20 yrs in new Jersey rust belt.
