Ball joint press Ford 4x4's

[VC-Racing]

I'm trying to find a quality, reasonably priced kit so I can service my 4x4's ... 01 F350 , 77 Bronco, 96 Bronco. Any recommendations ? I know SO is probably the 1st on the list, but can't justify the $500 +. I also plan on adding it as part of my trail kit for my Bronco when I go out to The Rubicon Trail next year.

Thanks,

Vic

...should pretty much cover what you need, for under $200.

Even with 3 vehicles, are you doing ball joints that often? I love to have tools on hand but I still rent ball joint presses from Autozone.

No..... I have one I need to do ATM, but It will go in my trail tool bag when I go to The Rubicon trail next year. Because out there, there ain't no shops around the next rock except what you bring.

The OTC kit is nice, and I believe Astro Pneumatic has a kit which is a little more affordable.

If you don't have room for a shop press It pays for itself just with ujoints alone. Zip em out and in with the impact gun. Pressing shock bushings and bar pins, etc. they have multiple uses.
