I have noticed that my truck has been squeaking a lot and I noticed this on both passenger and driver side I know that it is not good. I was wondering how I can go about replacing them both??? any suggestions?

Ball joints. Start looking at videos on you tube. Far too much involved to explain it here. Much better for you to do your own research and learn. It's not a technically difficult job but you do need some specialized equipment which can be rented from an auto parts store and you will be dissassembling much oif the front end suspension components.

 

Ball joints are not a good place to start learning. Take it to a reputable shop. You will need an alignment afterwards.

 

Agree on the ball joints, and agree that it's not the place to start learning. If you find yourself in a bad spot with the axle shaft hanging out and don't know how to get back to Point A, it will end up costing you a lot more than if you just had someplace reputable do it. It's not a hard job if you have the right tools, but I'd begin with some minor maintenance and bolt-on parts before you dig into something like the ball joint. Any good local wrench should be able to do it, so I wouldn't pay dealership prices.

That said, get online and buy some Moog (or comparable) greasable ball joints. The stock ones are not and will wear out again.

 

gotta start somewhere sometime... you have any wrenchin buddies that know the task an like free beer? Thats where it all begins sometimes =)
