Funny!! I view Harbor Freight tools as expendable tools as they are typically not the highest quality tools available, however, they will typically get you through a job or two. I've been using Harbor Freight tools for a long time (at least 25 years). No way in the world am I going to use a ratchet when I can use the impact to do the job quickly.

Watch out. I don't know your model but my 98.5 gave me problems. The ***** joints popped out and back in no problem, but the new ones popped out a week later. The upper control arms on my truck can't have new joints pressed in, which Dodge doesn't advertise. They wanted me to pay $400.00 a piece for new upper control arms with the joints already pressed in. I tig welded and it didn't happen again. Trw ball joints had a wide enough flange to weld. Just because you can buy new ball joints doesn't mean they work.....
