I was going to replace my front brakes on a 1985 300SD. While looking around and seeing the rotted rubber covers on the ball joints, I decided to order parts for all those repairs. So, what is the process for doing all three repairs. I do not have the press for installing the lower ball joints. I will bring new lower ball joints and knuckles ? (or is it a control arm) to a local shop. Do I have to worry about the springs when doing this job. I have read about doing the three jobs as separate jobs, not all together. Am getting confused...
