[jmar07]

Hey everyone, Sorry i was away for awhile been really busy lately and just havent had much computer time. ANyways this past weekend I put new upper and lower balljoints on the TB and everything went great. Kickinhg myself now cause I know i need control arm bushings and of course when you buy the control arm it comes with the balljoint. Oh well though didnt have the money for all that right now anyway. Hope everyone is doing well!

You can always replace the bushings in those arms... It's a job though lol

MAP torch will do it

Not to sure about burning them out and pressing them in and all Ill probably just buy new arms and say screw it. The ball joint job isnt terrible. I rented the master ball joint press kit from advance(autozone only had a small set). The uppers literally took me 10 mins for both sides. The lowers are a bit harder. I used a MAP gas torch heated the old ones up and was able to hit them out with 3 good wacks no problem.

I will say that these ball joints are some of the easier one's I've done. I went through the whole bushing replacement ordeal on the lower arms of my GTA, that sucked and is why I bought the whole assembly when I needed LBJs on the TBlaze. Remember, you'll likely need an alignment when you swap your lower arms, they have plenty of room to slide around in the frame. Else, mark them really well.
