Hello!
I'm new to this site, but finding it very helpful. I have a 1997 FORD E150 conversion van. I recently purchased new tires and was told at the tire store that I needed upper & lower ball joints replaced. The price tag was about $700.00. I went home jacked it up and checked it out. At a first glance it appears fairly simple, however I'm having a hard time finding detail drawings for parts and procedures. If anyone knows a good resource for these I could really use it. I noticed the passenger side seemed tight, but found a lot of play on drivers side upper. Question? Is there a bushing in the control arm (caster/camber) or is it a solid cast/forged and machined bore that the ball joint fits in. I'm wondering because the play seems to be more in the top (split) portion of the control arm. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
