Flunked my safety inspection

[SMatson802@aol.com]

I just flunked my safety inspection on the "71 spitty.  Unfortunately it is 
my driver and I cant be on the road til it is fixed.
The crack inspection tech jacked up the front and found excessive movement in 
the wheels.   The diagnosis is ball joints.  I will have to look more closely 
to veryify.   
Any thoughts?  How tricky are ball joints?  Do you need to compress the 
springs?
Ugh.
