installing lower ball joints only Dec 21, 2008 12:59:15 GMT -5

Post by HeavyMetal on Dec 21, 2008 12:59:15 GMT -5

the way i know how to use the balljoint press, u have to have the upper balljoint out to install the lower...is there a way people use to do the lowers only?

i have to get WJ balljoints in my setup due to the different taper than xj ones...i have brand new balljoints all around...i just need to replace the lowers with WJ ones now (due to my wj knuckles)

go
