i am lowering the front subframe for powerflex: sway bar bushings, steering rack bushing and control arm bushing and wondering if i should do the ball joints while they are accessible. any thoughts?
not having any issues but want to get as much done while the subframe is lowered.
thanks for your input

 

Why wait? I suggest that, while you're there, it's the prudent thing to do. In all probability, you'll find that, once you get there, they're pretty well-worn. If you don't want to lower the subframe, thanks to a fellow NAM member who suggested the easy way to get to the inner ones is to pull the hubs out, thereby allowing the half-shafts to be raised for clearance.

 

It cant hurt to change them considering they have 60k. Maybe this will help http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...eplacement.htm

 

thanks for the input, any other items I should consider while I have the subframe off?

 

Clean your PS fan, swap out the PS hose clamps, check all boots.
