Help - Please Help With Ball Joints

Hi

Can someone one walk me thru the process of replacing the ball joints on my EA wagon? --- Your help is appreciated!

unless you got a press and the right press plates forget it,,if you can remove the steering knuckles and take them to a work shop and get them done that way,,

How much do you think it should cost at mechanics including wheel alignment?

The only reason for asking is we live in a town where the mechanical bill for anything starts at $500!

Ok well I need my left lower ball joint done - and have decided to just get the whole arm replaced with both upper and lower bj on them. A straight swap is $199 fitted. And then it's on with 2 new tyres and then a wheel alignment - no more than $450 all up approx.

So tell your overpriced mechanic that

500,, tell him to get a real job and f$%k off,,just arrange to go some where else and make a day of it..

These ball joints... do they make a creaking/ cracking/ groaning sound when they are gone?? when i turn usually pretty slowly and pretty hard (not quite full lock tho) i can hear this noise... freaks me out but i have just put p with it..
