Re: replacing balljoints and idler arm
If you're mechanically inclined you could do the balljoints yourself. If you're lucky, your upper and lower balljoints are bolted in. On my 96 K1500 the upper was riveted in and the lowers were pressed in. I got a cheap ball joint press from harbor freight and replaced them. I used a big hammer to pound out the old pressed in joints, and when putting the new ones in, remove the rubber grease sleave from the new balljoint if it isn't already off. It takes a little patience to get the pressed in joint started straight
It's also helpfull to have a balljoint fork to break them loose
