I changed both left and right side on my 2009 4WD 1500 Sierra truck. This is the only way to go. You don't have to rent a ball joint press and struggle to press the old one out, or the new one in. You can "rent" presses for free at some stores but my experience has been they are worn out or don't have the right fittings. This comes with new bushings so all you have to do is pull the bushing bolts and pop the ball joint taper. I didn't have to pull the hub off like you normally would. It took me about 4 hours to do both sides. I am not a pro just a shade tree mechanic. I could have done it faster but I am getting old and slow. :-)
One thing to note, Moog changed their boot seal design. The new design is now part of the ball joint fitting so the unit looks like there is no seal on it. Old style boots use to slip on over everything and was easily visably. They have published a pdf document about the change. When I went to get it aligned, the mechanic instead that the boot was missing on the right side. I had to show him the document. The left side was old stock so it had the original designed boot on it.
