    Got a pretty good clunk in my front end. Looks like the lower spherical mount is shot. Verified by seeing the bolt being off to one side off
    the shock mount. Is this simple to do with average tools and possible to do on the truck? Best place to get replacements? I read I should change the bolts too? Single diameter..not the oem double shoulder bolt? Thanks.

    Can't speak to King, have have done a couple SAW lowers (should be about the same). You'll want to pull from the truck so you can pull circlips/snap rings off and press/tap the old bearings out.

    Assuming this is on a first gen given your post history... x2 on pulling them off the truck. I'd order from @AccuTune Offroad or King directly. You may need misalignment spacers, I did when my bearings needed replacement.

    But you'll need:

    0.625" spherical bearing - Part Number B1058 from King, or FK Bearings P/N COM10T.
    Misalignment spacers - King P/N KRS-25016-006
