Hey guys,
I would like to hear your opinions on whether or not I should replace 1, 2 or all 4 of my ball joints. I have a 2001Xj and have a bad drivers side lower ball joint (camber is -1.3). I obviously have to replace this but I was thinking I should go ahead and replace the upper and lower on the drivers side since I am in there anyway. Then I thought might as well replace all four so that all ball joints are new and I am starting with a clean slate (plus if one is bad, the others are probably not too far behind but not necessarily). I have never done ball joints before so I don't know if it is really necessary to do all of them and how hard it will be and if I want to get into tearing both sides down when only one side really needs repair right now. What would you do?
thanks
