spindle/hub/rotor, with old ball joints, removed
The truck is due for inspection and an alignment so today I took it in and they failed it for a bad ball joint(right, upper). Oh well. They wanted $300 to do the repair but I had nothing better to do. It cost me $20 in parts and $20 to have the new ball joint pressed onto my spindle after I removed spindle/rotor/hub and the old ball joint. The tool the auto parts store loaned me was missing a piece and wouldn't press the new joint in. It's done, ready for re-inspection and alignment, and I consider it a productive day.
