Default just finished ball joints, now onto others.

I just replaced all my ball joints with moog parts. I borrowed a ball joint press from orielly auto and did the work myself. If your on the fence of changing them yourself vs taking it to a mechanic, I would definitely do it yourself. This was my first time and it took me a little over two hours to do both side. I did have an electric impact to speed up the process. I was surprised on how fast and easy the job was.

While i was in there, I found that my wheel bearings need to be replaced soon. They don't have any play but they just aren't smooth like they should be. What are the Timken part numbers? My truck has ABS in the front also.

Can't replace just the bearings. Have to replace the entire wheel bearing hub assembly
