I've got a 2006 F150 with about 130,000kms on it. The upper ball joints are done and I'm going to be replacing them in the near future.
My question is whether I should do the lower ball joints and the outer tie-rod ends at the same time? At the moment, the tie-rod ends and lower ball joints are in good shape, but they are wear items and if the upper's are done, their time is likely near as well.
While I've got everything apart is it a good idea to replace them as well? Or just the lower ball joints (to avoid needing an alignment) or just the tie-rod ends (to avoid needing a ball joint press).
Thanks,
