Holy cow. I just did mine for 50 per side. 25 each ball joint and 25 each for the machine shop to press them in.

On the UCA you just replace the hole CA right? No other parts to buy? Just make a mark were the camber is and unbolt, take out bolt then CA then do the opposite? Oh and take the strut out the way????

I could NOT get the top of the BJ up far enough to put the cir-clip on it.

Just kind of curious if you ever ended up having any issues out of your lower ball joints since you installed the lower ball joints for steel lower control arms into your aluminum lower control arms?

That is why you couldnt get the retainer clip on them because the aluminum control arms are thicker than the steel ones.

Heeeey guys can we get these pics reuploaded? Need to do my lowers soon.

They do not appear for me. I know its way after the post was made but this topic is totally still relevant.
