Subject: Re: upper and lower ball joints


The bushings are a couple of Yankee dollars a piece (6.00 ea. at the dealer and cheaper from other sources - 2 needed). It takes jacking the car up, supporting on jack stands, CAREFULLY removing the nut which retains the shock eye on the a-arm. Penetrating oil and gently wrench it. If it does not budge, a little patience with heat and possibly more penetrating oil. Then jack on the lower a-arm until the shock is unloaded. Pull shock eye off the stud. remove old bush, push new bush in. A little synthetic grease (not vaseline) may help.
