Ball Joints

[fony3]

Ok, My drivers side lower ball joint (I believe that is what it would be called) has a hole in it and wont take any grease. Obviously it needs to be changed. It looks like something I can do myself, but I am wondering if I should be changing them all.

It would be great to save some time and cash and just replace the one.

The other thing, will changing one or all mess up my alignment. That would be a major pain in the a** since I just had one done 2 weeks ago. This also seems like something they should have picked up during the alignment.

ok, so is the problem just with the grease nipple? because you can thread those out and replace them seperatly.

As far as replacing one ball joint, once you have the spindle off to replace on, it's not much work to do the second one. As far as parts cost, ball joints are fairly cheap.

 It wouldn't be a bad idea to check the alignment after doing this job, but ifyou mark the eccentric before you take it apart, and put it back in exactly where it was, you should be pretty close.
