Okay, which ball joints?

If they are similar to Terrano2 balljoints, not a very difficult operation. If I'm not mistaken there's even a workshop download available for that.

Note though: existing bolts will most likely shear, so save time and just cut them. And don't forget to order replacement bolts.

I found a decent ball joint splitter (see recent topics on that) a great help.

I think he means the scissor type splitter I used to replace my track rods the other weekend.

See this link for picture.

When was the last time the tracking was checked?

If the roads near you are anything like ours, that'll knock the tracking around.

The other thing is tyre pressures.

Two little things that can cause scrubbing.
