Suspension Time
ok guys here is the deal I have a 95 F-150 has about 145,000 miles on it and Im looking into doing just about the whole front end. My question is should I wait till I posses all the parts? Right now i have bought MOOG ball joins. Should I just go ahead and install them or wait till I have have the tie rods, drag link, spings, shocks etc...any info would be greatful.
P.S How long does it take to do ball joints? I am a mechanic but for Diesel 18 wheeles, I know how to work on cars but just looking for a time frame.
Thanks
Victor

Figure 4 - 6 hours for the ball joints alone depending on whether it is a 4X4 or not. I would, and have done it this way, replace all the new parts as I do the ball joints since you will need to disconnect the spindles from the tie rods anyway.
