Any '92 PA balljoint replacement ponters?

[JStin]

Due to a shimy in the front end I'm planning on replacing both balljoints on my '92 PA. Anybody have experience with this job? I have the Haynes manual, but I've never done any front end parts before.
Any special tools, prep work, etc. needed. How long should this mission take?

Thanks

My suggestion is to take it to a repair garage that also does front end alignment. They will align the front end and install the ball joints. Probably will definitely need the alignment even if you did it in your garage, and you will save yourself a lot of headaches.

my 2 cents worth.

You will need the aligment done regardless, but change the ball joints yourself.. save yourself 90 dollars a side in labor. now is the time to replace the struts too. the allignment will have to be done again with strut replacement. do it all at once. you'll be glad you did.
