Suspension Help

I believe if you get left to right movement (what you are claiming you are getting) its generally your tie rods (inner or outer).

If you get top/bottom movement, is generally your ball joints (upper or lower).

Honestly, your suspension looks rough. I would consider upper/lower ball joints and inner/outer tie rods.

 

My suspension is beyond shot. I'm going to have to replace almost all of it eventually. But yea I just found an awesome site while looking for u-joints. Found the tie rods for $8-$9 each and the whole ball joint assembly (driver and passenger upper and lower) for $150. Going to get that as soon as I get paid. Not being able to drive on the interstate is killing me lol. Are tie-rods and ball joints something that I can do with every day tools? Or do I need special tools? And also what kind of equipment would I need? Just a standard jack and stands?

 

Make sure you read reviews on the products because some people on here have had problems with aftermarket LBJ's failing.

Get MOOG parts. Some stores (Rockauto.com, and auto stores come to mind) that sell MOOG allegedly sell a lower quality line of MOOG parts. I got some out tie rods and lower ball joints off of Amazon and the quality was very good.

 

Get MOOG from the place I linked? Or somewhere else?
