Ball joints etc...

Well, I just got all my bits in off of ebay. New front end bushings, ball joins, tie rods, sway bar links, end links the whole sheebang!

Now I know the balljoints are pressed in, but I have no press. Would a hammer and some time work just as well? Also are there any other things I should prepare for, ie. having to press things, special tools etc..

Yes the special tool you need is a Haynes Maxima Manual. $20 from Amazon will tell you all the tools needed and how to do it...

You'll need some special trools, but most of them could be rented from Autozone (ie: balljoint press)
check out my inner tie rod write up in my sig.
