When I pressed new lowers into my S10 arms, it was..... VERY FREAKING HARD AND INSANELY TIME CONSUMING heh, haha. They kept wanting to **** sideways and go in crooked, it certainly wasn't worth it but I was soooo broke at the time. But the price difference was a big consideration between new arms and just balljoints. On our Dakotas though, that's not the case. These uppers are so tiny that I don't think getting just a balljoint, even if they sold it, would save too much money.
I rebuilt that whole front end, it was my first mechanic experience outside of maintenance. I was so proud... and it drove soo smooth and straight afterward. like a car.

Wouldn't be my first rodeo with working on things. Hell I put a motor in my escort lol. I know I can do the front end on this truck but when people bring things up that aren't true it kinda gets irritating.
I can't wait to feel the difference. I'm wanting to do all moog parts.

I jacked the truck up today and found some play in the left front wheel where the sound is at. Jacked up the right side wheel and no play was found. No sound on that side either. Can't tell if it's upper or lower. Need a buddy to help me with it. Don't have 2 sets of eyes lol
