Front Ball joints (Not Rated)
by bbaez on 11:43 AM 10/19/21
What I have learned about tools required. Not the hammer and swearing kind!

Covers 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 F250 F350
Also my 1997 F350

Option 1:
OTC 7249 Ball Joint, U-Joint, and Brake Anchor Pin Service Kit with Storage Case , Gray $128.05
OTC 6731 Ball Joint Adapter Update Kit for Ford $85.58
Maybe also required , OTC Tools & Equipment 222305 Receiving Tube 2-3/4", for Ball Joint Service $26.31

Option 2:
OTC 7249 Ball Joint, U-Joint, and Brake Anchor Pin Service Kit with Storage Case , Gray $128.05
OTC Tools 6539-3 Ford/Mazda Truck Ball Joint Adapter Set $411.14

Option 3:
OTC 6530 BALL JOINT SUPER SET from www.toolsource.com

I went with option 3 because at the time you also got the OTC 6299 ball joint separator set for a total of $365.99. The 6530 will also service my GM trucks and maybe my Honda CRV.

Also get OTC 6695 Axle Shaft Seal Installer for Ford 1998-2004 F-250/350/450/550 for $75.60
