Out trucks and most newer vehicles have hardly at grease fittings unless its a heavy duty truck, our trucks have only 2 grease fittings in the front end factory, 1 is in the pitman arm and I don't Remember the other

Oh ok, good to know. I'll have to check out the ball joints. I'm sure I can handle it myself, I need new shocks too so I'll try and take care of it all at once. I would think it wouldn't hurt to have an alignment done afterwards.

Doing the uppers is pretty easy cause u replace the entire control arm but doing the lowers is a little harder cause u have to press them out and they can be in there like a bitch, if u don't have something to press them out or the proper tools it could be a real bear but can't hurt to try, and doing the ball joints won't affect the alignment but it wouldn't hurt to get one ur right

I've never done it before but I worked at autozone for about a year. They have a press just for that I can use.
