recently i just did 4 new coil overs shock/springs in my truck, front left w/b and rr w/b, right rear diff seal, sway bar end links. so i thought i was ready for an alignment, went in today and they put it up on a rack and there is play in both front lower ball joints and inner tie rod ends, they qouted me 557 to replace those and do the alignment. so i deciced to reconsider the alignment for a future date. i see the lower ball joints and inner tie rods will cost me about 130 from parts stores. my question is, how difficult will it to be do the lower ball joints and inner tie rods myself? i have done all the work myself on this truck besides wheel bearings, had shop do those. i plan to change just ball joints not the whole arm as some of you have mentioned on other forums. what specality tools will i need for this and anything else you might want to add for tips or to look out for.
