Does anyone know a good place to get my ball joints pressed out and replaced around Grand Rapids? Thanks.

Do you think I should just try to press them myself? I see that Autozone rents both tools needed to do it.

They aren't hard to do, but, I recommend a hydraulic press. You must ensure that the ball joints are "clocked" properly on the hole. The spud moves in a slot, when pressed in, the slot must oriented so that the spud moves front to back as the suspension travels. There should be little to no side to side movement.
