Just replaced my upper and lower ball joints on both sides. Did the right side 4 days ago and did the left today. Boots were ripped in half with grease everywhere. Kept the old ones to get some pics later. New ones ride SO much better. Uppers havent been greased yet, so I am doing that tomorrow right after work.

I have a quick question. I still get a loose steering feeling when hitting bumps. Is this from the uppers not being greased? Or is this from worn out shocks/struts? Suspension is up next for the recovery process but I want to know what can cause this so I could take a look at replacing it. Btw, still have the old tires on it as well.

Side note question, how do I make the pics appear big in the body of the paragraph rather than the thumbnails?

Complete OME kit w/ 881's and dakars. All-Pro Sliders, CB, HAM Radio and various other minor stuff.

Loose steerring could be bad rack bushings. Have someone turn your steering wheel with the engine off while you watch the rack.

Looks like this build thread has been suspended for a while. Just got in an accident this morning heading to work. Unfortunately I was at fault and resulted in a 3 car accident, however the two cars had minimal damage. Mine had the worst.
