Here are my front end symptoms which I believe to be ball joints, but I'm looking for some more insight.
My front tires are chopped heavily, every other lug is like sawteeth in height. One is normal, one is short, etc. I have obviously noticed this for a while, but I have not had time to attempt to fix it myself and don't have the $900 a shop wants to do it for me.
My steering is "odd" it has a bit of play before it actually "engages", I hear that it's the "speed sensitive" steering, but it's the same at low or hight speed.
When I apply breaks I can now hear a "creak" from my drivers side front.
I have done the track bar, Tie rod ends, shocks are a year old. I have 2.5" lift and 31's on a 91XJ 4.0
If it is the ball joints, is it a laborious process? The repair manuals make every job seem like an hour and your done. Shop said it was a four hour job. Any help is appreciated.
TIA
