Ball joint


Recommended Posts

I went to get my car aligned, but found out I needed a new ballpoint. They were going to charge 95$ to get the part. I went and picked one up at an autostorefor only 17$. Does the ball joint need to be pressed in? Cause I really just want to do it myself.

You can do it yourself, not pressed in. Make sure you're really careful removing the balljoint pinch bolt, if you apply excessive force it'll break. Use penetrant oil, actually effective here because you can access the back of the threads, heat, time. It'll come out without breaking. If you're in WA it probably isn't a rusted ball of mess, so it shouldn't be too bad.
