HOPE FOR SOME GOOD INPUT

Pretty much like doing a lift
lower ball joint is easy, take off the nut, couple of whacks with a BFH and it'll pop loose
Take 30 minutes per side maybe (at most) with hand tools
Make sure you wrap the boots with a rag when reinstalling so you don't pinch the boot

Correct but some of the Remanned NAPAs have been coming through with 35 mm nut

Yeahhhh, I'm not going to be able to make it Friday morning. WORK!
I also bought a socket the day I swapped out my CV. I believe I bought it at Sears.
Have Fun.

Just wondering if you could tell any diff in handling with the new shafts? i had noticed on the website they said you could get up to 9" of travel out of these boots.

In all reality I have not noticed much of a difference it does ride a little better but it really makes me feel more comfortable/ confident that I wont snap my cv's while wheelin
