MY STEP DAUGHTER ORDERED THE WHOLE KIT ON ebay, FOR HER '96 EXPLODER....PRICE WAS RIGHT!
BOTTOM JOINTS WERE SEPARATE ITEMS, TOP BALL JOINTS WERE FACTORY INSTALLED ON THE ARMS.
TOOK ABOUT 3 HOURS, GOING CAUTIOUSLY...AND USING A MONSTER C-CLAMP AND LARGE SOCKETS TO PRESS WITH....ALL INSTALLED, ON VEHICLE....NO GOING TO MY BUDDY'S PRESS
ON HER'S, THERE WERE RETAINING CLIPS ON BALL JOINT'S WE KINDA DIDN'T SEE 'EM AT FIRST!
HERE'S THE CLAMP--USING IT ON MY JEEP'S TRANNY, IN THIS PIC
I SHOULDA TOOK PICS AS WE REPAIRED HER EXPLODER!
