I have heard that it is very dangerous without a spring compressor. I also saw on this fourm, that a compressor from Harbor Freight had worked for some. I need to replace mine, also, but have yet to do so.
Good Luck, Dave.

I've done lower ball joints w/o a spring compressor..it's doable.
What you will NEED are ball joint separator and a ball joint press..those two items are priceless. Jonathan
