I've only got 75k (literally passed it today) on the truck, and the ball joint didn't seem too damaged as I was inspecting. Are these not field replaceable? I thought I saw a catalog listing somewhere.

[Edit] Hey, cool, found a Ford link for maintenance of the ball joints on the ST, and various other vehicles: http://www.fordtechservice.dealerconnection.com/vdirs/protech/files/Balljoint_Inspection_Job_Aid_Final.pdf

About to pull the trigger for the following items:

ES 4.5155R Front Sway Bar Bushing Set

ES 4.3157G Front Control Arm Bushing Set

Moog K80085 Rear Sway Bar End Link Bushings

Question regarding the Ball Joint Press that people keep talking about. This looks like a promising kitl; would this be appropriate?
