Change the balljoint yourself and either set the alignment yourself or take it in.

As for removing the bushing, some love taps of a hammer on the knuckle will shock it loose.

OK, when you say "bushing," are you referring to the BJ or sleeves? Or is this another part? Sorry, I've never messed with front ends.

Even after soaking in Kroil and a few well placed "Love taps"





It's a sleeve and that one was a factory.
