Great write-up. Thanks for taking the time to include pics. Just when I figured the internet had become just a marketing gizmo whose only use is to rule the masses and exploit the "consumers" most humans have become I find a how-to like yours that was shared simply to help others - Excellent! :) :)

cool write up I was going to atttempt myself on '04 f350 but was told you need a alignment job when finished.I have the same setup as the pics. what parts would the use for alignment with the leaf spring setup.thanks
Admin reply: You don't have to do an alignment unless you have a specific reason to do so, or if you moved the camber-adjusting sleeve. The camber-adjusting sleeve is used for alignment.

Thank you, great help with all the pic's, I replaced the right side ball joints. big job took me 8 hours, lots of rust. but with the new tools I still saved $ 800.00 . I took the easy way out by having the ball joints pressed out and the new ones pressed back in at the local repair shop it cost me $140.00 and I helped, looks like I wont go back there. yes I will do this again
Admin reply: Glad the pics were a help Paul.
My first side took me 8 hours too, and I didn't even have rust to contend with. The next side is a breeze though.

Excellent write up on the ball joints replacement. I am tackling this task for the first time and needed more info than I could find to do the job the right way! I have one question:
Are there recommended sites that you can post where to get these parts rather than going to a "brick and mortar"? I would like to try to acquire everything I need online.
Admin reply: Thanks Eric. I replied about an online vendor via email. Good luck with your project.

Admin reply: Thanks Joe. I added the information on the tool to my pages. Thanks for the great suggestion.
