My Formula needed new upper and lower ball joints and outer tie rod ends because they were pretty much shot. My father and one of my friends helped me out to speed the process up, but none the less, it was still a bitch to do. It took us about 3 hours to finish, and I'm glad we got it done and over with. The passengers side ball joints were a bitch to get out, but the drivers side ball joints came off much easier. Just thought I'd share. (sorry, no pics.. Didnt think of it and it wasnt anything special).

The only ball joints that I don't mind replacing are the kind that are part of a bracket that bolts directly to the control arm. Other then that... screw ball joints... let's go back to king pins!

Yeah, It drives much better now and I'm glad I forced myself to get it over with yesterday. Its no fun replacing parts that wont make it go faster. lol (Although it made a night and day difference when driving it)
