Question
Hi Mark,
 I have a 1995 Blazer 4X4 with bad ball joints.
I have relaced them on cars and trucks in the 60's
What am I looking for on this project?
Any sugestions would help.
                       Thanks Jim

Answer
Hi Jim, These joints are riveted to the control arm, so you will need to knock the rivet heads off with a chisle. You will also need to remove the knuckle to do this job. The new joints bolt in so the job really isn't that bad. Getting the axle nuts off if you don't have air tools might be a problem.

Have a Great Day
