Everything you need comes with what you ordered through Sewell. You're simply just need to install them and your good to go. Goodluck!

If your changing your ball joint, it recommended to change the tie rod ends too.

I just changed my ball joints and it helped out a lot. what i would do to save time is get the tie rods as well.
