I would appreciate any help. My 1987 Corvette lower ball joints need to be replaced. Any tips on what tools work the best, procedure on doing this job, over all tips? Thank you so much!

Hello Lou
You will need a ball joint press tool to remove and install your ball joints it can be rented from most auto parts stores (same tool for most all G.M. cars and trucks) One thing when pressing in the new ball joint in to your aluminum a-arm make sure it gos in strait, you can destroy the a-arm if the ball joint is forced in at the wrong angle it will distort the aluminum and after just a few miles your new ball joint will come loose from the a-arm.
