Instructions:
- Park on level ground, apply parking brake, loosen front lug nuts slightly.
- Raise vehicle with a floor jack and secure on jack stands. Remove the wheel.
- Inspect and spray the ball joint fasteners with penetrating oil to ease removal.
- Remove any components blocking access (cotter pin, castle nut, or axle nut as applicable).
- Use a ball joint separator or pickle fork to separate the ball joint stud from the steering knuckle.
- Unbolt the ball joint from the lower control arm. In some cases the joint may be pressed in — use a press or bench vise if necessary.
- Clean mounting surfaces on the control arm and knuckle. Compare the new joint to the old for correct orientation.
- Install the new ball joint into the control arm. If press-fit, use a press or appropriate driver to seat it fully without damaging the boot.
- Reattach the ball joint stud to the steering knuckle and tighten the nut to the manufacturer’s torque specification. Install a new cotter pin if required.
- Reinstall any removed components, remount the wheel, lower the vehicle, and torque the lug nuts to spec.
