What Can steering and suspension ball joints Do For Your Vehicle?

In layman's terms, this is summarized in the following steps: First, place the car on the lift, and then remove both wheels from the car. Second, loosen the lug nut on the ball joint on the front suspension by turning clockwise until the lock slips free. Third, unbolt the two nuts securing the lower ball joint on the strut to the rear suspension using a screwdriver or a nut driver. Fourth, loosen and replace the tie rod.

After this, unbolt the three lugs attaching the lower ball joint on the strut to the rear suspension using a socket and wrench. The fourth step is not very hard, but you need to have some practice, especially when tackling suspension ball joints with care.

Next, unbolt the lower ball joints (two on each side) and unscrew the two connectors that are located on the lower side of the ball joint on the firewall.

Then, unbolt the control arms that are located on each side of the vehicles long drives. Locate the control arms that are connected to the suspension arms that are connected to the control shafts to those on the vehicle's chassis. Locate the knuckle located on top of the control arm. Lastly, unbolt the four lugs on each side of the knuckle and secure the nuts by turning them counterclockwise.

Check to make sure that the track joint is aligned with the pins on the side of the vehicle that are holding the ball joint in place. If you can not find the track control arm, then your ball joint needs to be replaced.
