you've obviously never worked on a Mercedes, Mitsubishi, BMW or Porsche lol


sure you can get it done.. given the correct special tools, a lot of cursing, some luck and lots of experience.

 

luckily my father in law had a ranger for years and has always been able to work on his own cars/trucks. i am just trying to get as much info as i can so that i can order the parts and tools etc needed before i drive way over to his place where his tools are.

 

ah so there would be your 'local' mechanic .. lol.

 

i am getting with my father in law next saturday to replace the upper and lower ball joints and the tie rod ends, all with grease fittings. i will take pictures as we go. maybe it will convince others to do similar jobs ( if it goes well )

 

also check those so called "sealed for life" BJ's and TRE's...they like to make alot of noise when they die
