Before you install
Ball joints carry the weight of the front end and let the steering knuckle pivot, so they wear with age and load. Before installing a new set, look at the old joints for torn boots, excess play, and uneven wear on the mating parts. Clean the knuckle bores and check for damage before pressing in any new joint, since a bad seat can cause early failure.
Heavier duty joints are often chosen for trail use, but they still need correct torque, proper grease, and regular inspection. Tighten fasteners to the specified values, and recheck them after the first few drives. Expect the steering to feel different if the old joints were badly worn, and have alignment checked once the work is complete.
