Smile Squeak

My dads 1997 F250 light duty had a very bad squeak. With 110,000 miles I told him the ball joints would need replacing anyway, so why not start there. Before I could start pressing them out, they were already falling apart. These were the most worn out ball joints I have ever seen. The first half of the trucks life was spent on the coast in the sea air. I would think this shortened the life of the ball joints. This took care of the squeak. I then replaced the tie rod ends and shocks also. Drives and rides like a new truck now.

Congrats on your successful steering and chassis work. Not necessarily an easy job to conquer by yourself, unless of course you like it.
