I need to replace the ball joints that go on the end of the tie rods, but instead I ordered the ball joint that mounts the suspension to the A-arm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
I am trying to tighten up my steering as it feels a bit wobbly and I can see "looseness" at the tie rod ends. But the question now is: should I go ahead and do the other ball joints since I have them. I don't "think" the A-arm ball joints are bad, but honestly I am not sure how to tell if they are or not. Is this a big job? Sounds like I need a special tool. What other hardware is required? help! |
