[QUOTE="Dean Hedin, post: 1007995, member: 57230"] I did the tops and bottoms at the same time, along with the wheel bearings. (the Terminator was just being systematic :) ) When doing this I had no problem with the axle getting in the way. Its easy to remove the wheel bearings and you might as well change the bearings while you "are in there" since they can be had for as little as $50 apiece online. BTW Pickle forks on the air hammer are a waste of time. Just hit the fork with a small sledge. I think my lower ball joints went prematurely at 80k. And I think it was because I was running high tire pressure to save on gas. I'm running 38 psi now (i was running 44 psi) [/QUOTE]
