You can rent the press/c-clamp from Advance Auto Parte for free with their program, took me 5 minutes per side.

Re: need diy for replacing ball joints

Do yall think that this is something that I should try?

I've never done anything like this before. I have taken the tires off, and changed out the radiator in my car. But other than that I've just done basic repairs/maintenance (changing oil etc.).

I am wanting to change out the control arm bushings and the ball joints.

I ordered some energy suspension bushings and I am planning on getting moog ball joints.
