Quick question how hard is it to change the rear lower ball joints? I've done ball joints before but not the rear. I know three bolts out the bottom and the pich bolt has to come out. Then pretty sure I can just use the ball joint fork to pop it and it should just come out. Sounds easy enough in my head ha. I think I can put a jack under the rotor to keep the strut and spring from coming down more then it should. Thanks.

The ball joint itself is only held in by 3 rivots that you have to drill out. The new ball joint will just come with 3 new bolts to put it in. Besides that I would just take out the rear strut (scribe the alignment mark) just to give you some more room and its a relatively easy job.

The good new is the rears where replaced about 5 years ago by the old owner. So I can skip that part. Thanks.
