Does anyone own a ball joint press tool I can use? Otherwise I'll just rent one. Everything in the zjs front in is pretty solid and setup and new.... So the Ball joints are the last thing to do.

If they are stuck (which the probably are) with the ball joint tool tight smack the axle c right on the side at the ball joint with a hammer a few times. Work for me after I bent the first tool

Great tip, one side done. Is this gap okay? All is torque to spec

Just needed grease...

Need to go get another ball joint press from Auto zone, they gave me one with the middle spacer cracked. Being stupid I used it a little and did some rigging but it was sketchy and annoying.

Job is done, had a lot of other things to do so it took awhile. Went to advanced auto and got their set, almost $200 to rent. But it is an extremely complete set and made the driver side so much easier.

Rides much smoother. I think once I fine toon all my adjustable upfront it will ride smooth.... Maybe.

Was just there the other day. They have about 7 XJ's. None of them had very nice interiors, but plenty of good engine, tranny and suspension parts.
