Subject:Ball Joints??????

Hi Volks,

I was wondering about replacing the ball joints on my 85 GL. I imagine they
are the original joints. I don't hear any noise coming from any of them, but
the boots are tore on 3 out of the 4.

Anybody hear them clunk to let you know they are worn out?

I do my own work, anyone have any tips for the ball joint job? I've seen Tom
C's website.

I imagine I'll buy 4 new ones and replace them along with the tie rod ends,
and the upper control arm bushings, and the warped rotors, and front wheel
bearings. There goes a pay check. Where does vanaholics anonymous meet
anyway. I'm ready to stand up and be counted.
