2017 Ram ball joints vs complete LCA

Thanks JYH, yeah my times worth something even if the work quality is lacking lol.
The only other pieces to replace in the LCA after the BJ, is the bushings. Which are about $10-15 each, so I would do them at same time as BJ if I do them separately.
I have a press at work(10 min away) that I can use. Or we can do "loan a tool" at a place up here.
Oh yeah, never thought to ask if Lifetime bushings are available if bought separately.
Thanks again.

i'm lazy, so i'd get the whole encharito with lifetime.

i've not done one, but i'm led to believe that doing joints on those is a right *****. and that's not something i'd like to find out the hard way.

basically, it's what's your time worth: 103 + the time to R&R the joint AND the bushings-- you're doing the bushings too, right? versus a straight R&R job, and if/when things go round and brown you just pop that sucker off and roll a new unit right in there.

i just did a 95 exploder front end. the complete mevotech lifetime arm was only about $40 more than just the joints/bushings. to me that's money ahead to not have to wrassle an arm and dick around with the press.

i mean yeah, if you're going straight up low rent, and you value your time at $0 then i totally get it that $140 is less than $800
