Wholesale Suspesion at Penrith Paul.
I believe Racedirector got his done there pretty cheap. I could grab the arms on Friday night and drop them in for you if you wanted.

Based on that fact my Mum is the best around! |

Ive had Pedders do mine for me and they charged $50 each. Took them no more than 15 minutes.

sounds like you need to get youself a small press, I got one from supercheap cost ~120$, I did all the ball joints on my car last week, took about half an hour to press tham all in once I got all my jigs organised..

And you can buy a special lower ball joint pressing tool for e series falcons. From memmory its about $50. But makes life much easier.
But I guess unless you don't do heaps of them it wouldn't pay off. $50 each is a bit steep imo. Shouldn't be more then $35 each. |

Shouldn't be more then $35 each. ha ha, the pressing tool I used was a 1 to 2inch BSP reducer I got out of the shed, just needed to grind the thread off the 2 inch end, so it fitted snug, I used it to press in the bottem ball joint, and used it againg to sitt the spindle on to press in the upper ball joint (as per pic).

That'd do too.
My boss likes having the propper tools tho. Good for me. We did have just a pipe that was bent to fit in the back of the stub axle but it was used for a bigger job and ended up a S shape. And then was put back without anyone being told. next ed that needed lbj done ended damn close to a hospital trip. |

Just been quoted from Pedders at $20.00 ea to press in. This is with Steering Knuckles off car and old ball joints removed. I think I will go with them.

Whilst the stub axle (steering knuckle) is off the car wire brush the dirt off and give em a hit with matt black paint. (Not on the axle bit) Makes em look way better. |

Paul, If the ball joints have no grease nipple, might be an idea to pop the boots and pack them with graphite grease or similar.
Don't go overboard, as the boots will pop or split once in the car if there's too much.

They come pre greased with the correct ammount.
No need to put anymore it. It'll just cause the grease to pop the boot of. |
