The alignment on our AWD Astro was just done. It needed 3 new ball joints and I was very happy to have the shop do this work. The ball joints were original with factory rivets. That is beyound what I like to do. When I picked up the Astro I asked how it went? They had to air chisel off the rivets and heat up the joints with a torch. If I had attempted this work myself I would have not finished or taken a lot longer than the 3 hrs it took the shop.

Take care.
Even I agree that some things are best left to the pros.....
