We replaced the ball joints and the front shocks. I got to use this ball joint press I've had for years. I've been meaning to buy the accessory kits for it, but haven't gotten around to it. One of them is for servicing this type of Ford joints. So I get the old ones out with what i have, and go to put the new ones in. Hmmm, I know I've done this before.
Hey look, somebody stashed a small piece of exhaust tubing in the cavity marked "this cavity for future use" and "Ford ball joint remover". I used it to install the lower joints.
I need to just break down and order the accessories from Harbor freight. They're not that costly. The little piece of tubing is starting to bow and mushroom :D
