Originally posted by WickedESi Ball joint presses are wondrous tools. It's a little unpractical to be buying a nice kit for a one time job.

Tell me about it. I was able to rent one at Autozone and the ball joints were out in minutes. It's a shame though all that work for nothing. I put in some adjustable ingall ball joints to accomodate my sportline springs and tokiko shock setup and I got serious rubbing and banging noises coming from the front right side. I'm gonna put the stock setup back in this weekend and sell the whole suspension on ebay. Too much of a headache and not enough money in my pockets right now to have a professional look at it.
