I agree with to each his own, but I wouldn't use a pickle fork on anything more advanced than a Jeep.
My balljoints were abnormal. I ended up taking them to a mechanic, and I never take anything in...that's just not me. And they had a damned hard time with them. I even destroyed the SST trying to get the front ones out.
I will say that the only parts that were worn in the entire 135k suspension were the balljoints, struts and the strut tops. Everything else was like new.
Since then, I have put 10k miles on new all-oem total rebuild of the suspension and the passenger front strut or strut top is blown. I don't know if the replacement parts are of lower quality than the original, or maybe they've just been sitting around on the shelf for 10 years?
I'm getting coilovers this time.
