It.......
Well I just spent the last two hours trying to drop the LCA's so I could do those bushings, and the strut rod bushings as well. WHAT a major league PITA! The spindles on this thing don't give enough clearance to get a socket on the balljoint nut. Also, apparently the left balljoint was attached to the LCA before the spindle, cause there wasn't room to pull the cotter pin.
BUT, as quoted from The Outlaw Josey Wales, "Endeavor to persevere". I finally got everything loose and dropped the driver's LCA. Discovered (to no real surprise) the lower balljoint is completely worn out. Guess I get to do those as well.
