Default Ball Joint Replacement

Ok...so my front end noise could very well be my ball joint(s). If possible I'm gonna try to get it fixed before the weekend. How hard are they to switch out if it is the ball joints? I've found lots of symptoms through search, but no info on how to replace them.

its not hard at all. just takes some time and pateince. you have to put the front of the car up on blocks but still be able let the A arms drop. you will need a ball joint remover kit from autozone. it was about $120 but you get all your money back when you return it. try looking for a haynes repair manual. i have one and it helped a lot.

Turns out it wasn't the ball joints. [sm=bounceybounce.gif]

The posi is just so tight that they don't want to release the rear tires. Yay for nothing being broke
