Autozone got a loan-a-tool ball joint press. Pay $100 bucks get it all back when you bring it back.

I know that, I've rented at 5 times already at least.. I want my own. The cups in the kit are nice to have for my shop press too.

I have a master kit that cost me $120. I too would rather have my own than rent. Looks like you and I followed a similar procedure. 'Cept you replaced your shocks and springs. I'll be doing my outer tie rod ends sometime soon.

it was on sale for 69.00 bucks it worked perfectly. i used my impact on it and it didnt spread or anything. just make sure you greas the threads. i dont know if its been mentioned but the moog lower balljoints have a relief notch for grease make sure its pointed inboard.also the new moog hubs are made in korea i hope they hold up they look like good pieces.i got them at rock auto around half of what advanced wanted for the same part.

I've used Moog parts many times before and I have never had any issues. I'm surprised to see that they're making stuff in Korea now. I always seen their stuff made in the United States.
