P500 Ball Joint R&R?

[Duckhunt]

Anyone replace ball joints on a 500? I just pulled control arms for locker install (and to remove arm bushing teeth) and noticed upper right has a little bit of slop. My mentality is I just ordered all 4, I have 24XX miles. Actually through dealer Moose brand seemed like way to go. At least they come with nut and cotter pin. Anyway, anyone got any experience? I've replaced many pressed in joints in pickups so I imagine a little sxs can't be tough, especially with the arms on the bench. (gulp)

My P500 has over 4,000 miles on it now. Right upper ball joint is worn. Probably due to the 2” wheel spacers. About to replace all four of them.

Good call to replace while there and who knows the "real-life" of these components without time/data on these units; that is, what can one expect in the stock configuration vs. modifications (those can range tremendously across units).

2 inch wheel spacers and 27” tall tires are bound to wear something out! LOL
