Lifted 2008 F350 Track Bar

My track bar ball joint has some play so time to replace. Of course youtube looks simple enough without the damn bracket in the way.

If I jack up one side does it stay in alignment and would it give me enough room to even get a socket on the nut?





*edit*
Or I'm a retard. I just thought about removing the frame side nut & bolt and moving the ball joint to clear.... Man it was a late night yesterday.

I just did mine a month ago and it wasn’t at the angle yours is at, something isn’t right there. I had to cut the threads off of the ball joint to fit in the press I had.

Looks like your passenger axle u-joint is done also with all the red rust dust on it.

I'll take a look at the U Joints next.

I just noticed my tires are turned slightly now that its day time. I'll work on this weekend maybe I'm not half sleeping and missing obvious stuff.
