Easy job just a bit time consuming! All parts came from royal distrubuting! Hardest part was getting the lower ball joint and washers line up in the spindle, very tight and tap the washers into place with a hammer and screwdriver! Do the front end bushings!!!I still have a skosh more negative camber in the right side ....there is a very slight amount of play in the ball joints as well as A arms bushings...maybe I'm underestimating the cumulative amount of play ??
My sled has nearly 6000km....I ride hard but it is all trail miles...no off trail antics or any particular hard hits....she does see some air now and again tho...
Did he use oem ball joints as replacement?? what other options are there?? Oilite bushings are superior for longevity I assume? Were they a bitch to install...I have heard they can be pretty tight??

I thought I had ball joint issues, i did have worn A arm bushings, it was late in the season so I wanted to at least fix the loose A arm bushings. I installed oil lite bushings and it tightened up everything perfectly, there was no need to change any ball joints (in my cas at least ) to make a long story short start with oil lite A arm bushings and go from there.
As for installing them use a 3/8" threaded rod some fender washers and nuts to press them in. Real easy to do.
