My ball joints squeek like a stuck pig. What do you guys replace them with? Should I go factory or get those steeda versions. although something leads me to believe they arent for a fox? jus wanted some input.
I like the one's I got at NAPA (yeah, imagine that). They're actually Dana ball joints and come with grease fittings.
EDIT: BTW, I agree with the above statement as well. I wish I could have went with new control arms when I had it apart. I was in a HURRY to fix the ball joint that I bursted with a pickle fork ..... so I had to get new ball joints instead. Getting the whole assembly is TOTALLY worth it.
You can rent one at the local parts stores. I rented one at O'Reilly's. Actually, I think I had to PAY for it up front ..... and got every penny back when returned. Be prepared if you got this route .... they're kinda expensive.
EDIT: you also need a BFH to go along with the fork. If you get the tool, you may not even need to use a fork. It's a PITA to do ball joints. If possible, get the control arms that already have them installed in them.
For the hassle of buying new balljoints and renting a tool to press out the old ones and press in the new ones it is just much easier to get the Ford Racing A Arms and swap them into place.
