Ok cool, there isn't a place for them. Pulling off the old ball joints was a real bear! Used a three foot cheater bar and it was still tough. The old ones were worn, they were sloppy when moving the pin around. Tomorrow everything goes back together. Thanks For all that helped! This forum has the most knowledgeable people of any forum I've been too! :thumbs_up

When you are finished replacing the ball joints you will need to reset the toe in. It will NOT be correct, trust me. You can do it yourself easily with a tape measure and some other odds and ends. If you want to try it i will explain the procedure and what tools you need. Or you can take it back to the shop that aligned it for you. I would be suspicious of them if, indeed.your ball joints are bad enough to cause DW that they did not check them and catch that while doing the alignment. Thats the first order when doing alignments; check for worn and broken/missing parts.[CENTER][COLOR=#ff0000]Resistance Off Road
