Balljoints, tierods, etc 1984 B2000 - 12/30/2006 11:05:29 PM    Itsnotme1988 Posts: 29 Joined: 9/29/2006 Status: offline How difficult is it to change all the balljoints, etc on the front end of an '84 B2000?  What all parts do I need? Is there anyone that sells a complete kit?  Where would you reccomend getting the parts? The truck is about to hit 180k miles and everything needs to be replaced. _____________________________ My Cardomain IF YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR TROOPS, PLEASE, FEEL FREE...TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM Post #: 1

You will need a pickelfork to seperate the ball joint from the spindle. Use a jack hammer or drill to take out the rivets on the old ball joints. I used a drill to take mine out. I bought everything at a Autozone. Wear safety glasses, trust me! (in reply to Itsnotme1988) Post #: 2

Just ensure when tightening up the ball joints use a jack to apply pressure into the socket that the joint runs though so it does not turn while trying to tighten.(support the spindle from underneath and jack it up until the A arm starts to move and that should be enough pressure) (in reply to Itsnotme1988) Post #: 5
