front suspension diagnosis

[seanj]

normally to check a front end for possible damaged components i would raise the front supported under the control arms and go from there. the book says you can't check ball joint play with the vehicle supported under the ball joints (control arms) hmm. 92 xev6 4x4. thanks

correct.. pick it up in the middle of the front skid plate... it's a bit of a balancing act and the jack better be tall.

Or use two jackstands under the front crossmember.
