replacing lower ball joints Options

[conus00]

My driver's side is busted and I have few questions:
(1) does anybody have part's numbers?
I have found these on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290509051042?ssPag...984.m1423.l2649

(2) Is this doable on the parking lot? Do I need any special tools or compressed air?

(3) Do I need an alignment after the fix?

Thanks!

1) You can just go to a dealership or autozone and they can look up the parts for you.

2) I don't believe you would need anything special since it's just 3 nuts and a bolt.

3) It would be in the best interest to just to make sure nothing is off and you don't create uneven tire wear.

Hes got it

a couple notes though, its hard to get the upper nut off since the axle is so close. only option there is a wrench, unless you remove the axle, which will require a 30mm socket and a very big breaker bar or air tools. (hint: most consumer impacts arent as strong as a good breaker bar. useful to make most nuts come off faster, and free rotating nuts, bolts, etc)
