Just registered literally 2 minutes ago. Have been browsing these forums for the last year though, getting much needed help by just reading some of the topics posted.
I felt as if it was time to register so boom here I am. Now for my question.
I have a 1999 Sportage, I had it inspected a year ago and it passed no issues. Well this past weekend I went to do the brakes and what do I see? anything with a ball joint is completely destroyed. It looks as if I hit a jump going 70 and every ball joint collapsed.
I ordered upper control arms, lower ball joints, inner tie rod ends, 2 sway bar links, 2 outer tie rod ends, and an idler arm. cost me an arm and a leg but I love this little truck. What tools besides a joint pulling kit will I need to complete the job? I have enough PB blaster to drown in, basic socket sets etc and a few hammers. A list would be great and much appreciated.
Thanks.
