What are you doing? Replacing ball joints, u-joints?

Pay attention to the seal/bearing that is pressed on the stub shaft of the axles. It should turn freely. Use Moog, if doing bj's. Too much work to do it twice. And follow the tightening sequence for bolting the knuckle to the balls.

He's replacing ball joints and hubs/bearings. My work is done here.

I'm at a point in life where I take my hoopty to the mechanic. Just got smacked with a $1700 repair bill from Mercedes for sway bar and bushings. Feckin' AMG upcharges....
