[QUOTE="Dennis Shelley, post: 536351, member: 58803"] Replaced the lower ball joints last week. 84,000 miles. If the ball joints are already worn all the grease in the world will not cure the losse fitting. The job can be done without any special tools, other than a large press. Take the A arm to a car repair shop to have them press out the old joints and press in the new ones. The job is a 5 on a scale of 10. Also this is a great time to replace the shocks as they have to come loose to get the A arm out. Bought the ball joins at O'Riley car parts. The parts are Moog. O'Riley will life time guaranty the parts. The ball joints do come with grease fittings. The cost was $36 for two. Then spent $50.00 for the press work. Less than $90.00. On a project like this park the ST facing out the driveway. If you get in over your head call a tow truck and have a local garage finish the job. There is no shame in trying and failing. This did cure a vibration I had around 65 MPH. [/QUOTE]
