    Quick question on balljoint replacement. After giving the Jeep a once over last week it, my pass. side lower ball joint has about an 1/8" of play in it. I'm going to replace it this weekend along with the wheel bearings (both sides have a rumble, most likely water in there). Is it okay to replace the balljoint on just one side or should I change out both lowers?

    If there's no play in the other side its OK, however, you should change both on the affected side. If one has play in it, the other has suffered some damage (may just not be noticable).:v6:
