I've done this job several times. But i like to watch this video each time to make my job much easier. The step by step video really helps keep you organized and do the job faster.
Typically the lower control arm ball joint is somewhere between stuck and fused together. This video glosses over the frequent difficulty encountered in releasing ball joints
EXCELLENT VIDEO, very educational for me. I need to replace all of the ball joints in my '05 2500HD 4 X 4. I am very mechanically inclined, but this helps me know just what to do. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Have a 06 2500hd 4x4 im pretty mechanically inclined as well. Looked at this vid just to see what I was getting myself into before I rebuild the whole front end
@@winkiiiie Mechanically inclined doesn't mean you know exactly what the process is. Just means you have a good idea and can figure it out. I'm very mechanically inclined and can figure it out if I've never done it before, however what he is saying is this video helped to give him a good idea of the correct process before just diving into the job. So not sure how that didn't add up in your head lol
I love to see all those NEW parts in there but the reality of this type of work is not being shown. Great video procedure wise but any vehicle from northern regions requires some special skills, Liam Neeson level skill, to get some of this stuff to yield. I'm doing a Pennsylvania driven 2002 hd2500 front end right now, not as sanitary as that, lol. Keep on wrenching!
That was an EXCELLENT tutorial of replacing a ball joint on the same model I own. Our world is different here in upstate NY where salt is used on the roads from Nov. thru April. The undercarriages look a little less familiar after a couple of years exposure and jobs like this are a nightmare. VERY well shot with carefully thought out camera angles and lighting. At least I know what the parts should look like. Thanks.
Very helpful. Thank you for. All the torque specs. Also. If you’re like me going to. Do this. It’s always a good idea to call a dealership and relay your vin Number and see what parts are on the vehicle. To insure you have what you need. With no trips back to the store
Did this Truck have a Torque Rod front suspension? If so, do you not have to release the Torque Rod Tension with this method since you didn't remove the Lower Control Arm?
No, as long as the shock is on it will hold it back. You also don’t have to remove the drive shaft or sway bar link to replace ball joints on this truck.
All these comments saying its usually harder than this.. the video is to show you the steps. Its not a reality tv bit. Yes, you may need to know some tricks for getting stuck things loose, but thats another video. So quit pointing out the obvious, that things dont always go as smoothly as the how to video depicts.
Just so everyone knows this is on a 2wd if you have torsion bar type suspension dont try it like how he does or you might get hurt. This only applies if you have a 2 wheel drive or newer trucks with struts up front with 4wd. Good luck.

Be a man. Scream at it😂
Thank you very much for adding all the torque specs much appreciated!

I always google 1-A auto videos before starting to refresh memory. Excellent info every time. Thanks again

I like you video, I’m from Puerto Rico but live Sarasota fl, thank you for you very good video

Thanks for the video! Gave us the confidence we needed to tackle this project!
Thanks for the exceptional, informative video. Very well done.
Very helpful 👍 best video I have seen, very informative! Keep up the good work!
at 8:27 in the video, what sizes are those cups.
Awesome vid , you broke every thing down, great knowledge
Did this Truck have a Torque Rod front suspension? If so, do you not have to release the Torque Rod Tension with this method since you didn't remove the Lower Control Arm?
I wonder the same thing
No, as long as the shock is on it will hold it back. You also don’t have to remove the drive shaft or sway bar link to replace ball joints on this truck.
Wasn't the outer tie rod upside down in the knuckle?
What dose anyone recommend the type of ball joint tool to buy ive seen to many storys ant it breaking
Is this the same for a 02 1500hd with 6.0? Looks similar.
Were there any snap rings on the ball joints?

Is this the same for 3500? Will the torque specs be different?
This is right to the point nice video man
Nice work bro great video the best
Thanks for this video, i'm just gonna keep driving forget all that🤣 my rusty 350k mile work truck will be ok lol.🤣
Great video! Why was the upper arm replaced? Are you not able to use the ball joint press on the arm?
It’s a lot easier to just replace the control arm that comes with a new joint already pressed it and there’s not much of a cost difference
great video nice details thanks for sharing
Good stuff!
Great video
Great video thanks man
same Torque specs for a 1500 4X4? Thank you
I thought you are supposed to torque down after vehicle is on ground?
Nice job sir

Isn't that outer tie rod upside down or is it actually like that on the 2500?
I think that’s how they are
It’s actually like that because it uses torsion From inner to displace weight
You don’t have to do 75% of what’s in this video for a lower ball joint
Genial!! En Español, gracias
I didnt remove the sway bar bushings, thats probably why i couldnt separate the lower ball joint from the lower control arm doh!
+J Brown Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
I’m very confused about install
I see you skip what most would do as replace upper balljoint with the whole assy
So the bottom didn’t need the washer put back on
Doesn't need snap ring
Ball joint replacement? But you skip over the removal and installation of the ball joint... so what’s the point here?
The upper ball joint comes as the entire arm assembly. Only the bottom balljoint gets pressed in.
Thats not true my upper and lower ball joints are pressed in on my 2000.
@@delperz2371
Not correct. My truck the upper ball joint presses out of the control arm also. I have done it on friends trucks also.
My lower ball joint wont come out until Gta 6 is released.
This is apparently a 2wd. Most older Silverados are 4wd, because the 2wd types are more often junked.
The removal of the CV axle indicates that it is 4wd.
Well fokes you don't need to do all this. Lol
Great video nice details Thanks for sharing.
Great video
