replacing ball joints on a IFS ranger

[mwood1985]

i need to replace my ball joints on my 2001 4x4. im assuming im gonna have to let the tension off the T bars to do the job but need a little instruction on the proper way to do it or a walkthrough. the tech library article is on the ttb and with my ifs that dont work so well lol

No need to touch the torsion bars period.

Support the lower control arm with a jack, remove the steering knuckles, remove and replace the upper control arms (install alignment eccentrics), pound out the lower ball joint from the control arm, press in new ball joints and reassemble.
