I need to change the ball joint on the front left upper A arm, and maybe the rack and pinion as well.....
Is the ball joint pressed in or one piece??
how involved is changing out the ball joint and the rack and pinion????
Could I do it my self? I have always worked on my cars, but I have never done something like this before.
Or should I just take it in to the dealer?? (I am broke tho)
any comments/suggestions appriciated

 

btw, how do I take off the under tray?? I took off all the screws but its held on by plastic screws with philps pattern but when I try to unscrew it, It doesnt wanna come out. What kind of plastic clip is this?? how do I get it out??

 

not trying to be mean, but this forum is not here to teach you how to be a mechanic. you need to get the helm manual www.helminc.com and see if you can figure it out. if not, then take it to a shop.
