Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 3/5
- Estimated time: 1–2 hours per side
Instructions:
- Park vehicle on level ground, set parking brake, and chock rear wheels.
- Loosen front wheel lug nuts slightly, lift the front of the vehicle with a jack and support securely on jack stands, then remove the wheel.
- Remove any components blocking access to the ball joint (e.g., brake caliper and rotor if necessary).
- Disconnect the sway bar link or ABS sensor wiring if it interferes with removal.
- Remove the cotter pin and castle nut (or retaining fastener) from the ball joint stud. Apply penetrating spray if needed.
- Use a ball joint separator or pickle fork to separate the ball joint stud from the steering knuckle. A rubber mallet or hammer may help free a stubborn joint.
- Unbolt the ball joint from the control arm (or press out if factory-pressed). Retain hardware if reusing where applicable or discard if damaged.
- Install the new ball joint into the control arm or knuckle per vehicle-specific orientation; secure with supplied or OEM fasteners. If press-fit is required, use a hydraulic press or professional tool.
- Torque all fasteners to vehicle manufacturer specifications and install a new cotter pin where required.
- Reinstall any removed components (rotor, caliper, sway bar link, ABS wiring) and remount the wheel.
- Lower the vehicle, torque lug nuts to spec, and perform a test drive at low speed to confirm proper steering and suspension function.
- Have a professional wheel alignment performed after installation to ensure correct toe/camber settings and to prevent uneven tire wear.
