Balljoint removal and installation


Recommended Posts

Yes, caveman style:D Take a hammer and sharply hit the ball joint end(housing) till it pops out. Same with the lower control arm ball joint, but this one may take a few serious whacks.

Disclaimer: I will not be held responsible for damage done to hardware or body parts using this method:rolleyes:

sweeet - I got a loaner puller from Autozone, and popped the balljoints out of the control arm. Getting dark, so I'll replace them tommarow - replacement looks easy compared to removal, since I can use the nut to pull the lower half in, and the wieght of the car to push the upper half in. Looks like I'll have good ball joints soon.

 

Total cost:

 

2 used balljoints - $0.00

1 loaner puller - $0.00

 

Total: $0.00
