Do yours actually need rebuilding? I have had mine for 55,000 miles with a lot of hard wheeling on 37s and Slabs and they are tight.

yeah, I noticed when I installed them the driver side moved a bit easier than the passenger, really didn't think anything about it. just had the tires rotated and I noticed the driver side was feathered on the inside. I need to check the hub as well but the slight shimmy I've felt I suspect may be the lower ball joint.
I would do all 4 at the same time.

this is what I concluded as well. got to thinking if these were oem ball joints I'd be replacing all 4
Now the kicker I see in reading the rebuild process is it may actually be easier to install new ball joints.
Still need to remove everything as if replacing the ball joints and the teardown on the ball joints themselves looks pretty time consuming.
I'm thinking at this point I might as well just change out the ball joints as it appears to be the quicker option. :thinking:
edit - ball joints 1 yr old - approx. 30k miles. I'm hoping it's not the ball joint, will find out this weekend when I take it apart.
