Oh yeh experience is the best teacher. I've done this before and even on this particular vehicle (at least the ball joint part). But I can forget **** (I know you understand that). Sitting here sick and just really trying to get everything lined up as best as possible for when I do start. Appreciate the offer and may end up reaching out about help if need be.If you have never done one of these before, you maybe should have someone there that has. There are a few little tricks and things you need to know that can save you a bunch of headache !!
Just a suggestion
If that's what requires I absolutely would. Ponied up and bought all motorcraft parts that were available. Fortunately it seems like I don't have a model that's riveted in. Pretty sure I would have remembered that, but like everyone I can forget ****, and had a mild panic seeing the other parts.You can get a rivet gun from Harbor Freight for next to nothing. Nuts and bolts and work loose if not done with the proper type. Put it back to factory or OEM standard. Those guns from Harbor Freight won't live up to industrial standard but will be perfectly suited for occasional use. I just would do it that as a way to justify another tool to have but do what you want its your safety at stake.

4.99 is a small price to pay for the right way. Then you will have one in the event something else arises later down the line. Tools, tools, tools, I like a well stocked tool set. I would only use or buy a Harbor Freight tool if it was something like a very, very low use item. Then there is no problem when you need one. They take different sizes so make sure it will be compatible with your current repair.
The older I get the quicker I forget and the quantity of **** I forget increases dramatically. Life goes on I guess.If that's what requires I absolutely would.

Absolutely yes! And thanks. Realized that today as I was finally getting at it. Don't know how I completely forgot all about that pain in the ass pos. Last time I did the joints one of the shields was bent real bad from previous damage so I just roto zipp sawed that ****er in half lol.My 19yo trainee with a '99 Gran Marquis said the rivets are for the dust shields.
