  1. Ball Joint Tool

    I didn't need any special tools. If your trying to remove the stud part of the ball joint from the control arm here's what you do......Loosen the castle nut to the end and use a floor jack to start pushing on it and just tap the control arm and it will break "most" of the time little problem. I just did mine on a car with 232,000 miles in CO

    Here's the easiest way I've learned. Loosen the castle nut to the end and using a floor jack put much pressure on it and then just tap the control arm.

    Hi everyone from CO here. I'm Steve and we are a family of 5 drivers and 4 of the cars are Subaru's. I just did the ball joints on my 96 Brighton after 232,000 miles and it was the easiest ball joint replacement I've ever done. We also own a 98 Legacy with 140,000 miles, 99 Legacy with 160,000 and a 99 Forester pushing 200,000 miles. I have tried to work on all my own cars my whole life. "My Dad" was a good teacher.
