Hi,

I'm bout tempted to go ahead and fix my truck up. I know it needs Axle U-Joints, Ball Joints & Sway Bar links.
Is there any tricks for doing this job?
Which tools would you all recommend?
Also, should I stick with OEM brand U-Joints or what?
Help Much Appreciated.

 

Any part store will have the parts. Just get the better ones.
There are a lot of stuff involved with getting off the hubs make sure you get it all back right. U tube it. I'm sure you can find one

Use a big hammer to get ball joints out. They have a screw press that works too.

 

K cool, when pulling the hubs, should I replace the seals? Also, when putting the driveshaft w/new U-joint, what happens if it wont go thru the knuckle? (hitting)

 

It's specifically engineered to fit through the knuckle. You have to get everything lined up just right though.

 

Yes all the seals. And joint it is a fun job

 

K, so just line it up and slowly get it to fit thru and should be ok right. Which Seals to be exact? Don't wanna get the wrong ones.

 

Are Two seals and one bearing that most people do not replace.
