I didnt put moogs in, but I did my ball joints in December. What exactly is your question? You need to press the old ones out, and press the new joints in. The top joints press down to come out. Let me know if you need any help, I have done it, like I said, and it is pretty easy.

Yeah, i have heard good things about those moogs. I wanted them, but I didnt have the money at the time, and ball joints were imperative to replace right then, so I got the kit from Quad4x4. They look OK, defineatly better than the worn out ones I had. Sorry I cant help more, but good luck. DO some searching, a lot of guys have done the moogs and might have posted pics.
