Use a slightly bigger cup so the boot doesn’t stick to the inside of the cup when you take it back off maybe? Need to do a whole front rebuild on my 03 king ranch suspension.

Can’t wait until you replace the opposite side of that bar I think it’s a small metal rubber bushing great video

In my opinion the bushing was much easier than the ball joint. I had to cut my ball joint out with a torch.

I think when I did mine.. I had to have an angled cup to drive in the ball joint.. 08' 350 dually..

Check your local parts house, Napa, Oreillys, etc. They probably have a ball joint press set you can rent.

It can be done on the ground with the tires still on or you can jack it up on stands to get a little more room working on it.

Definitely. If a drop down bracket isn't installed on the driver side of the track bar then that will also make the truck wander around & drive like crap.

Definitely. It could still have another issue like overinflated tires or other loose components. With the truck running in park, have someone rock the steering wheel back and forth and take a peek under the front to see if something is obviously loose.
