Thanks a million!!! The Autozone loaner did the trick! I just finished changing the ball joints on my 85 300SD. Everything worked exactly as Whiskeydan said it would. My worries about having to cough up big bucks to pay someone else to install the ball joints were totally unfounded. Tomorrow I'll return the Autozone loaner and get 100% of my deposit back.
