Over the past few months I replaced front brakes, rotors, calipers, u-joints, seals, tie rods, ends, you get the pic. The only things I did not replace were the track bar, pitman arm and ball joints. It seemed they were OK. Well seemed bit me in the ***. I definitely am now replacing the track bar, bad drivers side swivel joint. The pitman arm, just because. And I am putting on one of the aftermarket CNC machined steering box stabilizer, nice unit. BUT I just noticed what may be a ball joint problem, 250K miles, one owner. I am no mechanic but have alot of experience in working on my Dodge for 20 years. After taking off both front wheels/tires I grabbed the lug studs on D-side and pulled up and down, there is just a small amount of play on the bottom ball joint, but I don't think this is OK, IS IT??? If not should I replace both upper and lower and of course on both sides if so.


Thanks Guys

In my opinion, if it has play, they should be replaced.

 

Yep, get them in.....
