Just wanna say that I got Ball Joints (upper/lower) and tierod ends (inner/outer) from World Suspension on ebay for just a shade over $80 to the house. Had a friend of mine do the ball joint replacement for me for another $60 and my little baby rides so much better now lol. No more popping at the slightest bump. lol It got so bad that when the truck seen me coming it starting popping lol.

Anyways, just a little FYI for those that may be shopping for suspension parts and on a budget, World Suspension on ebay. Great prices and fast shipping.

Good job on getting them replaced. I passed a truck the other day that had a failed lower ball joint. Totally messed his truck up! :facepalm: :tisk:
$60 is a great price for installation. Mine took 2 full afternoons, but then again, I ain't no mechanic! :chuckle:

I had seen and read your DIY and was getting ready to dig in but I know how I am. If I don`t finish that day what I started it might set there awhile lol. I`m mechanically inclined although I`ve never done a BJ replacement but your DYI made it look rather simple actually. But still, $60 to cure that headache? Couldn`t pass on that lol
