I had to replace one of the upper ball joints in my 1985 CrewCab last
week. The boot had long ago ripped and the interior of the joint was
completely rusty. During the last few hundred miles or so, the joint had
gotten real sloppy and the steering was beginning to be affected, so I
replaced it. Pretty easy job!

Feel free to check out the pictures and text at:

There is a link to the balljoint how-to right on the main page. I'm also
going to replace all my front wheel bearings next week, so I will have
another article then.
