Replace ball joints only if needed. It's not mandatory. I've done the front shocks/springs at least three times. The hardest time was the first one. :D

Re: Installing Shocks

I did my front shocks this summer, the top nut was rusted and seized on, had to cut it off and there is a good chance you will have to also.
Use a good spring compressor and be carefull.
Also remember to have everything indexed properly on the front shocks so it will go back into the car easily.
