I have a 96 f-150 4wd. I noticed the other day it was steering kinda funny.
Tonight i jacked it up and noticed i have quite a bit of movement (up and down).
I looked, and my ball joints apear to be shot. My question is, is this something that i should take to a garage or try to tackle it myself? I am mechanicaly inclined, i am just not used to 4x4's. Those ball joints need to be pressed in?
Also, if i would take it to a garage(not dealership), about how much would i be looking at? Just ballpark. Thanks for any info. Brian
