Re: Should I replace balljoints?
Glad you don't see signs of a bad ball joint. If you did they would be extremely bad. Jack one tire a few inches off the ground and check them by the amount of play by rocking the tire looking and feeling for play. Do that to both sides. No excessive play just grease them. While in that area check the tie rods/ links for play. Play can indicate excessive wear. Lube everything that has zerk fittings. "K" series trucks are known to crack around the mount holes on the frame where the power steering gear box mounts..So inspect the area for cracks...I wouldn't simply replace things.
