It's nice having a 2wd, because i don't have to loosen the upper control arm alignment bolts or have to wrestle with the axle shaft or remove the tie rod end. It makes a shorter job and less alignment issues. But I always get my alignment done at Pep Boys, and thry have a Lifetime Alignment deal, so no matter how many times i work on my front end suspension parts, i just take it there and they make it ride nice and straight.

Can't read the size of the tool that fit over the bottom ball joint so you can press it in. Thanks. The AC Delco ball joint have a non removal able grease boot. Thanks for all your videos too.
I installed a new ball joint in my truck and I have it on there way past 90 ft pounds and the joint stud rotated should I tighten it again or is this normal for them to rotate as it’s driven
Love watching these vids where it all juuust cooomes apart…(ha). couldn’t get mine out.... maxed out my air impact with the press tool, borrowed a new dewalt, made sure it had a fresh battery still nothing, put cheater pipe on my 1/2” ratchet till I was afraid of breaking it, (ya I know, where’s my break over) let it soak with penetrating oil for a day, heated the area to about 250* afraid to go hotter, beat the cr*p out of it, finally chiseled inward divots all the way around and used a spacer that pushed on the outer ring (that I had just put divots in) instead of the center and it moved then.. oh and then when I went to install the new one I realized that for mine (2500) you have to have pieces that are in the companion set that you get from HF
So the mechanic in this video is from 1A Auto. Is TRQ and 1A Auto the same company? So I was wondering how many times you take the same bolts out and put them back in making these videos? And how long does it take to do these videos? Just wondering cuz in the beginning of this video you pulled the wheel off and it was all rusty and next thing you know. It's had a shiny rotor.
The ball joint I'm removing doesn't want to come out. I have no clue how you lined the ball joint tool up over top of the ball joint so it's a flat surface to push the ball joint out. Top ball joint is in the way.
Anyone with common sense will replace the whole control arm. By the time you do all of the pressing and labor it's not worth replacing just the ball joint. With a new control arm you get the new bushings to frame too! It's a no brainer.

Master ICAR REP & ASE instructor Virginia. For once, I'm impressed by a video.

Always always do both
The lower ball joint can be driven out carefully with a hammer once you use the chisel to fold over those divots...
Thanks for such a great video. Now I know I don't want to attempt this and will pay my mechanic :D
Excellent job
Thanks for your help a lot
Excellent video!👍
Do you have a part number for the wheel bearing dust cap at t=13:30?

Thanks for torque specs
This can be useful for earlier model as my 2001 has the exact same oem lower ball joint.

Very good , how too video.
Great video ,just wondering how many hrs would it take a decent mechanic to do both lower front ball joints
is it ok to grease new ball joint before re-pressing it back into place?
What do you do when the lower ball joint you replaced is spinning and can't get the nut off ? 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT . Thanks
Nice video. You didn't mention a front end alignment after replacing the ball joint(s).
Excelente video maestro ahí va mi Like👍👍👍👍🙏❤️
Thank you for putting the wheel cover on right
Nice video man, the help a lot.
I’m impressed.
Excellent video
Is the upper control arm ball joint not replaceable? I can't find any oart number for the upper control arm ball joint, just the entire arm.
Can't read the size of the tool that fit over the bottom ball joint so you can press it in. Thanks. The AC Delco ball joint have a non removal able grease boot. Thanks for all your videos too.
Is the process the same for a Tahoe of the same year?
Broken 2 pickle forks on my bottom ball joint and it is still stuck on there
Should there be little to no gap between the snap ring and the top of the lower control arm?
Fast forward to 8:15 see the process

Do you have to put back the cv axles if you don’t care about the 4x4?
Where can I buy the press tool?

Am i the only one who saw after he took the wheel off it turned into a new car?
Where’s the zerk fitting?
So is that lower ball joint pre- greased?
Axle will be the next thing to go
My eyes are playing tricks the rotor all the sudden brand new.😮
Damn that truck is rusty 😮

Went from a rusty used rotor to a brand new one seconds later 🤔
man ìts heavy..Thanks
Bruhhh 😂 this truck is from shell city 💀
Northern truck lots of corrosion
I don’t think they own a non rusty car
🇲🇦🇲🇦👍🇲🇦🇲🇦
That is major job, I will not try that!
All the southerners in the comments never seen a typical rust belt located truck after a decade on the road, that shits normal in new England!
