- Ford Mondeo mk4 front wishbone replacement. Well in this video i replace the driverside/offside wishbone. Well what can I say I thought this one would take to long to change but how wrong was I, lol.
But with a little patience you can do this one at home on the drive the drive. I would say set a side a morning or a least a few hours and spray some WD40 or release spray on the bolts and allow them to sit for a little while to help loosen them up.

I did mine not long ago. I found if you put the front bolt in first. It gives you wiggle room for the back two. Then the ball joint last.
Rear bolts in a real pain in some places written makes us banned.
Perfectly fun on a Saturday with over torqued 18mm bolts and a worse ball joint in this video.
Managed to get it off by loosen the nut instead.
Now I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Hi Chazz. Did this job again today on the same side as your video (drivers side)
It was pretty easy, really helps to remove the CV joint, also the drop link as you've said, and the track rod end, jack the knuckle far and away from the control arm and place the CV joint on top of the brake disc, it moves everything out of your way and loads of space to slot the control arm out and then back in completely straight and level with the subframe, easily got the bush bolts in and threaded, used that same lever tool which is really helpful, then levered down on the arm to locate the ball joint while at the same time attaching the CV splines back into the hub. Tighten everything back up, job done :)
Great work from a brother from another brother
Cheers bro
Nice one mate. Doing this on my car tomorrow. I'm sure I'll get covered in Crap and hurt my finger too.. As usual 😂
Really best one what I found tutorial.
Thanks.
What is important when you putting new one, put in first smaller bush, as you did.
Thanks for watching. Glad the video helped
This is a really helpful video, thank you. You gave me conviction that the ball joint could be removed! After that it's easy
No worries, glad the video helped out.
Great video, done both side on my mondeo estate.i noticed the blue lever you used to pull balljoint down to fit into the steering knuckle. I'm too tight to buy that lol. I got Laser 8530 Suspension Arm & Lever Hook online for £13 and used the lever off the jack. It took a bit more effort but done the job nicely. Keep the videos coming.
Hi Chazz. I looked at this video before replacing the front lower arms on my 2015 Volvo XC70. Both cars share many platform components as Ford did own Volvo for a while before Geely. However the ball joint to hub carrier design on the Volvo is different, the rest is almost identical. I found the video really helpful and have mentioned it on the Volvo Owners Club forum, I hope the is OK😀👍
Hiya Andrew, yeah some of the mk3 and mk4 have similer parts. Cheers for sharing with the group. If there are any other videos i have done that could help in your group share away. Thanks again
Solid job easy to follow good film of top nuts
Brilliant mate. You can't beat a good straddle 😂.
Great work, it is a pig of a job, I find if you jack under the brake disc to bring the hub level with the subframe it will go in easier, its that back bushing that causes the most grief, what you did with the front bushing, ball joint and then back bushing seemed to work well though, well done for doing that on the ground
Yeah thats what i ended up doing jacking the hub up abit and slide the rear bush into place. And thanks i do the vids to show that these jobs can be done on the ground and that patience pays of.
@@ChazzCoombes thanks! Really appreciate you taking the time to film and share this 😃🔧 gives me confidence that I can do this on the ground in my garage 👍 I’m gonna replace the outer rubber boot on my cv joint , do you think I need to remove the wish bone? I’ve bought myself an air tool to get the boot over and on the driveshaft.

a very good tool you use
cheers you can get them here: ebay.us/FeIi9O
Thanks for video.
Thanks for the great video. Is it okay to replace just one or is it best to replace both sides at once. Thanks
ball joint splitter and hammer would do the job
Hi mate, i get a noise from the suspension when i accelerate, but no noise over bumps, would say thats the lower ball joint, and is it easier just to replace the wishbone, ive seen your other video and drilling out the old ball joint rivets seems long
Need some advice, I have a 2.0tdci estate 07 plate. When accelerating moderately or heavy the car shakes violently, doesn’t shake if pressing the clutch and rolling from accelerating, well start again once depressed and accelerating again. Steering wheel doesn’t shake just the whole car. Under light acceleration it doesn’t shake at all. Any suggestions please
Chazz please give us a better look of the blue Wishbone tool, i've not seen one of those before.
Morning mate, i will post a photo for you and put a link to buy one for you in the video discription.
@@ChazzCoombes thanks, great channel.
@@billgriffiths1685 ebay.us/xamU1L take a look at them here. Small price but worth it i feel.
My ball joints were completely welded in so bad it actually bust the weld on the bar tool.. ended up using a lot of heat and smacking the bolt with a big hammer best I could.. Awful.
Cheaper to change ball joint as i did
Ball ache. Is the ST220 easier?
Deffo agreed witt that
Looks like you're doing it for the first time.
Drill out the old one and screw in the new one!! Why touch the lever?!(
То есть ты поменял весь рычаг всборе из-за одной шаровой???😂😂😂
Весь как свинья,а вмего лишь рычаг поменял)))
this video is unlisted by the way :D
Yeah i know its not ment to be public till i set it to public. How did you find it, lol.
@@ChazzCoombes going through the mk4 playlist 😂 great work btw
@@pixelog wicked, well found mate. And thanks are you on the channel for the mk4 or st220?
@@ChazzCoombes mk4 as i got a 2012 mk4 tdci and seeing what upgrades i could do 👍
