What part to buy.

[Jd0gg919]

I need all 4 front ball joints replaced on my X. They squeak and groan like no one's business. I looked into the parts and I think I need to buy new upper control arms. Can anyone confirm this or can the old joints be pressed out? I appreciate any help.

Yup you'll need new upper control arms with the balljoints, lowers are just simple swaps, I'd suggest getting Moog's..

Simple is a relative term.

yeah i was planning on getting the Moog lower joints. Is there a good place to get cheap upper arms? Or should i just look around until i find something in my range?

Simple with air tools and the right tools like ball joint c- clamp tool

Preciate it. Are spicer parts any good? If I get the Moog Uppers they're like another 106 each. Is it worth it?

Spicer is a Dana company, they make your OEM U-joints

Something to keep in mind with the Moog lower balljoints. They no longer have relief holes, which makes no sense at all to me. So just keep that in mind while your pumping grease in.
