    Thanks, just what I was looking for!! I gotta do that on both sides. It's hard to find this on a 2wd truck, every other one I found was for a 4wd which is totally different.

    I appreciate your video but you left out a critical part on installing in more detail the lower ball joint.

    All business....no foolin around. Thanks. I watched this due to death wobble. I've replaced entire steering rack. Only thing left is all 4 ball joints and control arm bushings. I thought for sure steering rack caused it but it still did it. Ball joints have no play in them but control arm bushings are bad. Very bad wobble at 15-45 mph....craziest thing I've ever experienced.

      Have you checked the ball joints play with all the load from the spring taken off? It can be a little hard to determine sometimes....The reason I change them was a “clonk” every time I drove on rough surfaces and bumps, but it turned out to be the hood making the noise! Yeah the hood!

    Is it the same steps for a 1993??

      The lay out is the same, but parts may differ, so the procedure is the same! Beware this i a 2WD😊

    Wouldn't you consider just getting new control arms

    • @carscloseup

      Is it a question or is it rhetorical? They may have some surface rust, but they are not prone to rust either, so....no.

      @@Luis620Lop3z Depends on how bad the condition on the components are, if the control arms have some surface rust, no need to replace them. It also depends on how much money you have and how serious you are! It’s becoming an old car and doesn’t have a high value.

    He did not press the lower ball joint in all the way you can see it’s not all the way in in the video
