its completely refunded when you bring it back. even if you break it haha

 

it can be put on a credit card and then taken off again

 

i was worried about that happening; so thats comforting. cant wait to get this done and out of the way

 

yea i broke one of the spring compressors i rented and took it back for a different one

 

thanks for your advice, you really helped me out.

 

Thanks guys for the info, I really appreciate it, I don't have a haynes manual on my truck yet, and Where do most of you guys get your ball joints? MOOG ones are 72 bucks a side for uppers from Summit, but duralast ones are 38/side.........and if they both have grease fittings, are the moog really worth double the money? I'm checking the price on some NAPA ones as i type this....

 

interesting...I'll call them now. How long have they been in?

 

The napa ones range from 65-85 bucks, thats eqaul to or more then the moog ones....

 

Moog ball joints are really good and have a lifetime warranty on them. That is what I always use..

Adavance Auto Parts rents two of the ball joint press kits...A smaller set for 99.99 and a larger set for 150.00...the smaller set is big enough to do the ball joints on a F150. and it is the same deal with getting your money refunded.

 

You will need a wheel alignment after you do the ball joints too

 

does the whole lower-arm have to be removed? i have an annoying rattle coming from both front wheels when i go over a rough surface, i'm thinking it may be the ball joints, i replaced the sway bar links last week.

Any input would be appreciated.

 

if your taking them off and to a shop yes, otherwise im not certain if you could press the new ones in yourself while on the truck

 

also be sure to have the truck on sturdy jack stands cuz you dont wanna die from your truck falling on you...

 

go with moog not that duracrap stuff..

 

i just pressed in my new lower ball joints into the lower arms while still on the truck with the loaned press
