you guys all jump in and assume they are pressed in, some are not. the uppers don't and some lowers don't, at least 4wd's anyways. Mine all bolt in.

Yeah lowers aren't pressed in in 4WD's, but if they haven't ever been replaced, they aren't bolt in either. They are some major rivets that are a complete PITA!
Right, my 98 lowers are pressed in...It also depends on years. My 94 lowers are rivited my 97 lowers are pressed in

Rent a ball joint press from the parts store?
the rivets i took an oxy torch to them got them really really reallly hot, and too and air chisel at them, they were off like butter
The time has come to start replacing front end parts. I've noticed some slop in the front end and plan on doing a complete front end rebuild. The majority of things are original to the truck or is/has started to dry rot from lack of maintenance before I got the truck. This is what I have so far:
Ball joints (upper/lower)
Tie rods (inner/outer)
Control arm bushings
Stabilizer arm links
Pitman arm
Idler arm
Cherokee shaft mod
Steering box (depending on how much the shaft cleans up the slop)
I've also thought about replacing the half shafts as well. Basically, I don't want to do anything else to the front end for as long as I have the truck. So, I might as well do everything at once and be done with it.
Thoughts?
