This video shows you how to install new front lower ball joints from TRQ on your 2007-2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.
Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 4 hours 12 minutes

Very useful thank you

[@Olk940]

Curious. I went too high with my toque. Can I simply pull the pin and loosen the nut and re torque?

[@hudsonward7451]

You didn’t mention that if you whack the ball joints before you get the nut off that it will just spin with the nut, if you would have mentioned that it would have saved me a couple days😂

Look at all that rust. Wow.
