I am in the process rebuilding my front end.

Went ahead and bought new UCLs and bushings for torsion bar, all 3 steering arms, ball joints.

Do not have acccess to a spring compressor and so I did not change the lower arm bushings or rebuilt the guide mount.

I have already replaced the steering arms and left the ends off the steering knuckles.

I have started with the driver side. Have replaced the UCL and bushings for the torsion bar and am in the process of replacing the lower ball joint.

The darn ball joint does not budge !. I bought one of those ball joint tools where loosen the nut on the ball joint, place the tool into position and tighten the bolt on the tool.

Worked great on the steering arms, but the ball joint does not budge.

Any suggestions ? Should I revert back to a fork ???

Thanks, in advance , for ur input.
