CWLONGSHOT Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Jack up the truck so the front wheel (s) is about 3-4" off the ground. Get a piece of pipe or strong board. Something like that is at least 4" long. Insert it between the ground and your tire and try to lift the truck. There shouldn't be any movement. If the ball joints are bad you will likely get a "clunk". Repeat on the opposite side. They CAN BE a bugger to change. Not really hard, but there are a number of pitfalls along the way if your not experienced with the job. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
