Just installed the Ingalls front camber ball joint.

Well one of them. Took less than 2 hours. Probably would have gone faster if I had the right tools. It was really simple. One nut and cotter pin on the ball joint, then beat it out with a hammer. Two bolts on the control arm, one nut holding a wire harness. Beat the ball joint out with a hammer, install the new one. The Ingalls ball joint isn't pressed in, so no more beating with a big hammer.

One thing I did notice, The control arm is very thin and flimsy , I could grab each bushing end and twist and flex it. If I knew it was that weak, I would've bought the whole arm. Now I wondering if the Ingalls arm is any stronger.

If anybody wants pic I could take some when I install the other side.

How low do you have your teins in the front and rear? Like distance to last threads to the bottom perch?

Ill let you know if the Ingalls arm is stronger, or if my stock arm flexes like you say. Mine should hopefully be here by friday. I also got some lower ball joints to install. I hope those arent a PITA to install.
