i would not recommend doing it yourself unless you have the specialist tools that are needed to do the job properly.
unfortunately, there are too many rogue traders/car repairers out there who will overcharge you or at the very least, will charge you too much for doing the job with parts included in the price so my advice is this-
go to one of your local car part stockists and buy the EXACT part you need then shop around to find a mechanic who will give you a fair price for fitting only. get a receipt and a guarantee that the part has been fitted according to the manufacturers standards.
here's a little tip- when you are shopping around to find someone to fit the part, slip into the conversation that you have another car that needs LOADS of work doing on it, and that you are considering who to take it to. you can be sure that the mechanic will pick up on this because he will be thinking ''hmmm... if i give him a good price for this job then he will be more likely to bring the other car in and I'll make more money in the long run..!!''
you will then get the job done for a fair and good price and if needs be, and you go back to the mechanic and he asks about the other car you can just say you sold it. if he does a good job then you can carry on being a good customer for him.
good luck...

What tools do you need to fix a lower ball joint in a 1998 Durango?
: Lower ball joint replacementI have a 98'. I replaced the lower and the upper. You will need a ball joint fork and a hammer, a grinder and the repair manual for the truck. The manual will explain the proceedure in more datail along with pictures. Lift the lower control arm up with a jack and put a jack stand under it. remove the cotter pin and nut from the lower ball joint. Jack up the vehiclel high enough to put a jack stand under the fram instead of the lower control arm. Jack the vehicke high enough to remove the stand under the lower control arm. Using a ball joint seperator tool, separate the ball joint assembly from the lower control arm.The lower has a (mount) lip on it keeping it in. You will have to grind the rivets holding it on in order for it to fall out. The new lower ball will come with a mountthat will hold it place. replace all the parts by bolting on the new mount withthe included bolts and nuts,and you have it done saving you $400.
