im pretty sure the guy had to drill holes for it because there arent exactly center, but no one has ever noticed it but me. it was a very nice upgrade in my opinion

ball joints are pretty easy ,
1.jack it up ,put jackstands underneath,take front tires off and brake calipers
2.remove hubs,should be like 6 allen head screws,they'll be a couple snap rings and a couple axle nuts i'd buy the socket (like $10) 4wd axle nut socket
3.pull rotor
4.remove bolts on spindle (either 5 or 6) and remove it
5.pull axle shaft out (drivers side comes all the way out of the diff and passenger side will seperate about half way
6.remove nuts on ball joints(mark the camber alignment bushing)
7.remove knuckle
8.get a ball joint press and press old ones out and new ones in
9.put everything back together
