ball joint replacement 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Matt L. on  Wed Nov 7 00:30 CST 2001 [RELATED]

This weekend I am replacing the steering rack and outer tie-rod ends, as the entire steering is sloppy and there is almost no power assist when the thing is cold. While I have this all apart, I was thinking about replacing the front lower ball joints as well, since the rubber boots on both sides are cracked all the way around. Can someone describe the basic procedure for replacing the ball joints? I read the blurb in the FAQ about "Ball Joints and Tie Rods Replacement" but I think in this case, the author is talking about the ball joint part of the tie-rod end, not the main lower ball joint in the strut tower. Do I need to remove the strut tower assembly to replace the lower ball joint?

Thanks!
