    What's up everyone! I'm somewhat new to TacomaWorld (I've been here a handful of times for some helpful info) but just created an account since I keep coming back here. About to replace the upper and lower ball joints, tie rod ends, and sway bar link (might as well do all of that since I'm in there, right?) on my 98 Prerunner 2.7L. Any tips is greatly appreciated. From the little bit of research on YouTube University (haha), it looks like everything is bolt on/off except for my upper ball joints. (It's not much more money to buy the whole new lower with the new joint already in it so I figured that would save me some extra work) Looks like I'm going to have to rent a ball joint press for the uppers though so I'll see how that goes. I love this website. There are a lot of helpful people on here. Thanks.

    Thanks! I hope these ball joints/tie rod ends/sway link don't take me two days. I have learned that almost everything is NOT as simple as it seems. I struggle with patience but I have the next week off so I should be able to get 'er done.
