ball joints

Hey guys, I've got a 98 4x4 with ~160k and it's having some major front-end issues. Over every bump it squeaks like a mofo, the front wheels are considerably cambered, and when braking there is a knocking noise and it feels like the wheels are wobbling. I'm gonna blame it on the 32x11.50r15s and...

I own a '99 XLT with coil spring suspension and I have already changed the lower ball joints but I'm wondering if the upper ones are replaceable. I was about to buy some new ones but the listing says coil spring upper control arm "WITH replaceable ball joint". The thing is, the passenger side...

Hello all. First post here. I have a situation where my upper and lower ball joint dust boots are flared out toward the bottom. This has only occurred on the passenger's side for some reason. Do I need to pull these off and replace the dust boots, or is regular grease pumping good enough to keep...

Hello to the helpful members of TRS, I have a 1998 Ranger Extended Cab 4x4 3.0L 5-speed, torsion bar front end, 155K miles, and it is now way past due for lower balljoints, and upper control arms/balljoints. I recently moved from Ohio to Texas, and having gone from a house to an apartment, I...

My mechanic says my "front end is shot" and it will cost more than $1000 to repair because the vehicle is so old, it will require lots of man hours to work the bolts loose, etc. So I'm going to try it myself. I have a tool to hammer the tie rod ends out, but what do I need to remove ( and...
