Ball Joints
Finally got to do the ball oints, I took lots of pics, there in my pics.
Just in case anyone is curiouse.
All went well, although I think I damaged the abs sensor, now I have an abs light on, I will have to fugure that one out sooner than later.

The pics frfom WV were not part of h/m trails. Great riding though and we werent too far from H/M either.
Took about 3 hours first side, took my time and didnt rush. Not as tough as I thought it would be. The other side went a little qiucker, all tools right there and knew what to do and how to do it. Good sat project. Truch handles much better, and no annoyinig clung when braking.

Real nice set of pictures.
When you broke the upper and lower ball joints out how did you apply force to both at the same time or could one be broken free at a time?
Any replacement seals as you reassembled?

I used a couple of screw drivers and started prying up in the adjustable cam, once that started coming up I started hammering the ball joints, top and bottom, and it fell out.
I did not replace any seals, everything came out good, I cleaned everything up, inspected all the seals, re lubricated and re assembled.

Checked out your pictures. Nice. Hopefully I don't have to do mine soon.
I noticed you now need the new upgraded rear pumpkin cover to get rid of that rusty one.

Yeah, I was going to remove it and paint it, but I think if I try to clean it up I am going to go right through it. I started poking at it with a screw driver, and quickly realized it wasnt a good idea. So a new cover will be ordered soon. I think x hemi guy has a nice one from ford. Gotta look into it.
