Yep, do all the ball joints, not just uppers if that was your plan. Get all the seals required. one of them is a large seal that takes a special tool to press onto the axle. (For proper depth... maybe the dealer can press it on for you quick, or loan you the tool? My dealer loaned it to me overnight) In any event, those two seals, the dust seal, the yellow "O" ring for the hub, to name three off the top of my head.
Use your best judgement on the "U" joints, if they feel good, don't bother. Mine were fine with 100k miles on them.
Not an extremely difficult job, but took me the better part of two evenings to do them.....
Well worth it since FIRESTONE wanted 1300.00 to do them IIRC,,,, it's a no brainer.
