:)Good Morning All,

I have just completed a Ball Joint and Axle U-Joint replacement on the right hand side of my truck and will be doing the left hand side tomorrow if weather permits. Would it be worth my taking pictures of the ball joint press and adapters (OTC clamp, some Dana 60 stuff and 3/4" drive sockets) and how to set them up on the axle to help someone that is doing it in the driveway??? I will gladly take the extra time if you guys think that it might help someone later on. I know that wheel bearing removal and u-joints are covered but don't recall seeing the ball joint procedure in here. I found many discussions about it but no pictures. Let me know if you guys feel that it would be worth my effort and I would be glad to do it.

Thanks, Mike
 
Just bought 4 ball joints going to start Monday in the sand/driveway. Any ball joint pics would be nice, but I have never put any pics on so don't know how much time it would take. If you do I'm sure it would be appreciated by those who never have done it, and your ball joints will be here forever.
 
Looks like there is some interest so I will try it. I only have dial up at home so will load photos onto my laptop and bring it to work on Monday. I am not sure how you add text under each picture but will figure it out.

DPalmquist, did you get the Moog joints????? Also might want to have axle u-joints on hand in case you find a bad one.
 
Some of us are also on dial up with no option for high speed. Please consider uploading the pictures at a lower resolution so we too can view them. Lower resolution pictures will work fine on the web.



Thanks

MWilson, I got the cheapest one's w/grease fittings I could find, want to see how long they will stand up. I have 85k on oem's I could have put new one's in at 75k. I ordered spicer/raybestos off rockauto, not sure spicer and raybestos are partners or what. They came in boxes from raybestos. Anyway time will tell. These were only $55ea. plus $15 for shipping
