    Getting ready to do my suspension in the coming weeks. Want to make sure I have all necessary tools ready and available since I don't have a second vehicle.
    Just in case the hammer method doesn't work, would this separator tool from HF work for both the tie rod AND upper ball joint for my '18?

    I'm also looking at the pickle fork kit with air hammer attachment.

    I use a Pittman arm puller for separating ball joints from the knuckle.
