I have tried searching and did not find it. How do you replace the LBJ? Is is simply pressed into the LCA? So rent a Ball-Joint press from AutoZone and press out the old and in the new? TIA |

Yeh I just did mine a couple of weeks ago. Works better if you have a big vice to hold LCA still when you press out the ball joint. |

Here is a write-up that USAFCOP did a while back - unfortunately it looks like all of the picture links are broken but the text might answer your questions. |
