it's usually the lower joints that take the most abuse and you can tell which one is which as the lower one is at the bottom of the spindle

And you don't need to buy the entire knuckle assy either. The ball joint is available separately now. Info in the following TSB. It will save you a lot of money, both labor and parts.

^sweet

 

But you will need to take off the entire knuckle and have the lower ball joint pressed in. This isn't a job that can be done without a machine shop.

Well atleast I wasn't able to.

 

Heat + a Big Fucking Hammer. Worked for me on my previous cars.

 

The labor will certainly be more since you have to remove the old and press the new ball joint in, but overall it should be cheaper. As mentioned, you'd have to find someone that can do that work. Most local shops won't bother.

 

LOL..ahahha

 

If you have a Napa store with a machine shop attached to it, they did mine for $15. It was some old gruff guy, I brought in the knuckle and he went to town, I tossed him a $20 and he was good to go.

 

Here is a link that I did when replacing my ball joint.
