    Replacing lower ball joint. Replace upper as well?

    So, just got a couple of lower ball joints since the ones in my disco have the rubber boot all damaged. Read somewhere that the upper joints need to come out anyway... So was wondering, should I postpone this job for a month or so (save cash to buy upper joints) and replace both lower and upper ball joints?

    Thanks

    Best to replace both upper and lower whilst your at it, there's too much to disassemble again later when it can be done at the same time. There is a video tutorial I think it's called "Skinned Knuckles " that a member has put up that shows in good detail whats involved.
    Cheers, mario

    They start to drive like a dog when the steering knuckle ball joints are stuffed. Very vague.

    Cheers
