Ball Joints replacement
Question, has anyone replaced their own lower ball joints? Left or right, doesn't matter!? I need to replace mine, and I'm looking for instructions.
As always, your help is greatly appreciated ...

You wont create a problem but the outer tie rods are only an extra $110 for the pair..

Its very simple take off the bolts and hit it with a hammer and it should come right out, be sure to get an alignment after!
