Instructions:
- Park vehicle on level ground, engage parking brake, and place wheel chocks behind rear wheels.
- Loosen front wheel lug nuts slightly, raise the vehicle with a floor jack, and secure on jack stands.
- Remove the front wheel to access the upper control arm and knuckle assembly.
- Apply penetrating oil to fasteners and nuts; remove cotter pin (if present) and loosen the castle nut on the upper ball joint stud.
- Use a ball joint separator or pickle fork to separate the ball joint stud from the steering knuckle. A hammer or pickle fork may be needed—avoid excessive force that could damage the knuckle.

- Remove the old ball joint and clean the mounting area of dirt and corrosion. Inspect surrounding control arm and knuckle for wear or damage.
- Install the new ball joint into the control arm or knuckle as required by vehicle design. If pressed-fit, use a press or appropriate driver to seat the joint fully without damaging components.
- Reinstall retaining hardware and torque all fasteners to the manufacturer's specification. Insert new cotter pin where applicable and bend to secure.
- Reattach the ball joint stud to the steering knuckle, torque the castle nut to spec, and insert a new cotter pin if required.
