I'm getting a rubbing/grinding in my front end of my 05 1500 ram 2 wheel drive when I turn left and right and go over bumps very annoying. I have noticed that my lower ball joints boots are gone. I have ordered new lower ball joint for both sides. I'm going to rent the press from auto zone when I do it.
Dose anyone have a list of what tools(socket sizes) and torque specs I need. Or maybe just detailed instructions. Also some people say you need a alignment after it but im only doing lowers and I'm not messing with uppers and not replacing the tie rods. Just popping them out why would you have to do alignment?
I did have someone give me a tip that I should put the ball joints in the freezer the night before to shrink the metal and it helps a tad bit on the install.
Thanks.
