Hello all
Can someone tell me how hard or easy it is to install upper and lower ball joints and a Idler arm on a 2000 F150 4x2 SC 4.6 V8. I got all new Moog parts today.
Is they a how too anywhere? do I need to remove the knuckle and the tie rods first?

Any special tools? I'm going to give it a try this weekend.

THANKS FOR THE HELP

 

if you want to do upper and lower then yes, the knuckle does need to be removed. if the knuckle is removed then the tie-rods need to be taken off that.

i think the uppers are pressed in so you have to get new upper control arms.

 

It's possible to do the change out without taking off the tie rods, it's tight but possible. Just do one at a time. Also be sure to get an alignment done right after you do the change, changing out these parts will move things around, no matter how careful you are .
