I've been told by my mechanic that my front end needs rebuilding. Tires are wearing prematurely on the inside edge. Normally I have money but no time, but right now I have more time than money, so I thought I could save some by doing it myself with my neighbors help.
Neither of us are mechanics but both of us are pretty handy.
he is a welder/ machinist and we have lots of tools. Any help is appreciated!
Ps cool forum!

Go over your front end with a fine toothed comb. Check bearings, steering linkage, balljoints, ujoints (if you have them), and the track bar. (if you have that.....) Replace anything that has any slop to it.

Ball joints are pretty easy. Pull the calipers, rotors, hubs and axle shafts (remove these together, no need to remove the hub nut). Remove the ball joint nuts, and knock the knuckle off with a BFH. Rent a ball joint tool from your local auto store, it'll have all the needed adapters.
I'm sure there's many write-ups, do a search on here or Google.
