So its time to replace my lower ball joints. a local shop quoted me at 400 bucks for labor.

not gonna happen.

so me and a buddy are gonna knock them out. any of the experts got some tips to share?

 

Get the BJ tool.

 

do you have a link? i too am interested in diy ball joint swaps

 

This is to easy to do. Order your ball joints from moog and they will come with step by step instructions. Rent a ball joint press with a 4wd adapter if applicable. Most auto parts stores let you use it with a fully refundable deposit.

 

Also, if you order your parts from autopartswharehouse.com, click the help button and have them give you a coupon code, then ask them for a better one.
