I am the unstable in wind guy and the replacing ball joints guy. Your
comments have been very helpful. What I have figured out is that I should
not replace the lower
ball joints unless I have to. There is a slight tear in the lower ball
joint boot. This will
be patched with GOOP. I am going to buy a syringe that will inject lube
into the
boots of the lower ball joints. My new question is: With the van already
jacked up,
should I adjust my gas shocks? They are adjustable, right? Somehow it seems
that the upper ball joints are getting to much pressure put on them. The
boots on the joints are torn and slightly shifted, as if there is a little
too much weight on them.

I am learning as I go along.
