Oh I dunno fill in the blank if youve been there... Well Ive finally got to do the complete front end rebuild on my 03 after 123k of trusty dependable performance. complete as in new u joints, ball joints and tie rod ends... I only took a few pics during the ball joint install since thats where I had the most fun... Enjoy

Couple of pieces missing I think...?


Here we go...


After heating and beating on the lower witha sledge hammer, then burp gun... It still stangly looks the same?!


Time to get serious...


Blowing the centers out alil to weaken them so they fold in on themselves alil...


Tops werent as bad with the mini press and 900ftlb impact...


Done! wow all that for that...

 

117.5K on my 06, and the tires are still wearing as they should. But I'm gonna have the body shop do mine. No way I got time to fight that project.

 

very nice i need to rebuild my whole front end

 

Good idea... Without the proper tools ie: my bud and his complete repair shop, this is not for the average joe in his driveway...

 

I would try but just don"t have the place to do it.Going in this weekend to get all four balljoints and unverisals and a drivers side wheel bearing..But only 50 k on mine i fiugred while it was apart might just as well throw in the u joints to.

 

My truck has only 50k on it and iv had my driver side axle shaft , u joint, ball joint, tie rod end and steering linkage replaced.
