I am nearly finished rebuilding my steering column on my 64 landau,but the upper ball joint rubber seal on the driver side is torn. I am wondering if anyone has replaced the uppers(ball joints), and if it is as easy as the manual makes it seem or should I take it to a shop ? I replaced one of...

Harley, If you do happen to have one in good codition, I would most likely be interested. I assumed that I would probably have to remove the column and of course the lower column bushing is bad ! (Imagine that !) Like I said, thanks to any and all w/ info on parts and/or procedures! Brad

Thank you very much for your input!
