Ball joint Q's
Sorry if this has been asked already. I searched through some threads, but didn't really see it.
When replacing the BJ's Do I have to mess with the torsion bars at all? This is on a 2000 f150.
My dealer about gave me a heat attack when they quoted my price to replace all 4. I'll be ordering, and replacing myself instead. Just wonder what, if any, special tools I might need.
thanks

You only have to worry about the torsion bars if you don't properly support the suspension while you're taking it apart..
Ball joint press would help. Also, if you get ball joints with grease fittings make sure you put the fittings so you can get at them when everything is back together.........don't ask..........
