Ball joint replacement tips
Replacing ball joints is easier when the old joints are checked for wear patterns and the axle is clean before work begins. Note whether the joints are press-fit or bolt-in, and have the right tools ready. A clean mating surface helps the new joint seat correctly, and this matters for steering feel and tire wear over the life of the joint.
Lubeable joints need periodic grease, so plan a service interval and keep a grease gun handy. Pay attention to the boots, since damaged boots let contaminants in quickly. When both sides are being replaced, matching parts on both sides helps keep steering balanced. After the work, have the front end aligned and recheck the boots after the first drives.
