Hi All,  
  
 I need to replace ball joints on my truck. I’ve done a lot of work on vehicles over the years, may have done a ball joint on a van once upon a time.  
  
 Anything in particular that I should know before taking this on?  
  
 Thanks for any advice,  
  
 Peter

The lower ball joint and bushings are intergal parts of the lower control arm and are not servicable. If the ball joint requires replacing the entire lower control arm assembly is replaced.
